VirtualBox is good for running Windows on a Linux host. As long as you're okay with running a binary-only version (it's still freeware) you can get a version that works with USB devices from virtualbox.org.

FWIW, Fedora 13 was the first desktop operating system I've ever used where my bluetooth headphones worked out of the box without any configuration on my part. I plugged in the usb bluetooth device turned on the headset and clicked scan for devices. This is between Ubuntu, Mandrake, Fedora, OS X, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
