Cygwin runs under Windows, so it won't help you here.

Wine doesnt' really require a Windows installation anymore. There are
documents about that on Wine's page and all. I have actually run some
Windows apps without installing Windows.

VMWare is really the best option, but it (A) Isn't an emulator, it's a
virtual machine, and (B) You'll need to install Windows. However, you
won't need to repartition your drive. Oh, it costs money, too. Check out
www.vmware.com.

Ask if you need more info.
