Here's another: http://atratus.org/

Quoting their page "Atratus is a Windows program that can run unmodified 
Linux binaries."  ... "Atratus can load ELF format executables created 
with gcc under Linux run them on a Windows system without a CPU emulator 
or virtual machine".

Haven't used it, but it does sound interesting, and its currently being 
developed (version 0.10).
