There is no way to run Windows off an android phone; Windows does not currently support ARM processors. There is also no way to have a virtual OS to run Windows specific programs.

Had same issue this week. Have you found a way to have it indicate you have email in a folder other than the Inbox without opening every single folder? It's not bold or anything. My windows based phone mirrored my outlook this way - which is one of the primary reasons i have a 'smart' phone....

To the OP. If it's really a specific Windows application that you need, and no equivalent is available for Android. You could always run it on your PC, and use one of the various remote access solutions, like LogMeIn or GotoMyPC.
