My network guy tells me that we are using VMware Server.  You can 
download it free:

http://www.vmware.com/download/server/

Once agreeing to the terms of service, you can download Windows or Linux 
versions.  Then you will need a Windows XP CD to install a virtual XP 
workstation.  And of course you can install any OS on a virtual 
machine.  It is easiest to install it on a beefy server where you can 
leave multiple virtual machines running.
