You can always run a virtual PC to solve this problem.

And you could also use VNC inside each virtual session. Bearing in mind the
old saying "robbing Peter to pay Paul", virtual sessions require
considerable amounts of CPU power and RAM. This is less of a problem using
modern equipment. But a system capable of running virtual sessions
effectively is likely to chew up a significant amount of electrical power.
For desktop situations this isn't a big deal, but in a boat, running off a
12v system it certainly will be.
