I use cross over, its great, the latest version supports XP and fixed the
pesky windows update issue. And it is still prone, but if you get hit, so
what? you will just crash the virtual machine. Keep in mind if they overflow
office, they are still inside wine. They need to be able to overflow wine
before they do any damage.

In any event, if they do, they only get user privlages, so run wine as
another user (su <user> -c) and lock down that user account if your really
paranoid.
