XP as a program on Unix/Linux system?

I am sure this question has been asked and answered before, also, if it is the wrong catergory, please let me know.


I would like to know how, if possible to run Unix/Linux as my operating system, and then load XP as a program? (I am open to other operating systems, but it has to be able to support XP as well.) I was thinking maybe as a separate window in the desktop, I do not want to switch between them, as a dual boot, I want Unix/Linux to be the only startup, then the XP can be closed by simply closing the window, and *poof* no more microsoft! (I used to have a program that allowed me to use this method many years ago, and it worked fine, but many of my current programs will not run with the old version of windows.. uggh.)

I absolutely dislike windows, growing worse with every minute, however I have several programs that I have to use, (and want to keep) and they as stupid as they are, will only operate in the XP background. I have an extremely fast gaming computer, with plenty of system resources, and capability, that lately with all the windows stuff, isnt so fast.

I am open to options and suggestions...

help please?

Thanks

XDestroyWindow(3X11)						     MIT X11R4						      XDestroyWindow(3X11)

Name
       XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows

Syntax
       XDestroyWindow(display, w)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;

       XDestroySubwindows(display, w)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;

Arguments
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w	 Specifies the window.

Description
       The function destroys the specified window as well as all of its subwindows and causes the X server to generate a event for each window.
       The window should never be referenced again.  If the window specified by the w argument is mapped, it is unmapped automatically.  The
       ordering of the events is such that for any given window being destroyed, is generated on any inferiors of the window before being gener-
       ated on the window itself.  The ordering among siblings and across subhierarchies is not otherwise constrained.	If the window you speci-
       fied is a root window, no windows are destroyed.  Destroying a mapped window will generate events on other windows that were obscured by
       the window being destroyed.

       can generate a error.

       The function destroys all inferior windows of the specified window, in bottom-to-top stacking order.  It causes the X server to generate a
       event for each window.  If any mapped subwindows were actually destroyed, causes the X server to generate events on the specified window.
       This is much more efficient than deleting many windows one at a time because much of the work need be performed only once for all of the
       windows, rather than for each window.  The subwindows should never be referenced again.

       can generate a error.

Diagnostics
       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
