What part of Windows XP/Vista/7 are you trying to simulate?

I am not sure where PHP/Java comes into this... I assume a simple virtual machine would not suffice?

The site you have linked to seems to use simple JavaScript, layered static screen-shots of the Windows environment and inline frames (used to make it look like notepad and Internet Explorer actually work).

To my knowledge there is no software that will automate the creation of a simulator. You would have to manually take screen-shots of Outlook, every menu and every form you want to be able to simulate, size and crop them, and then write a page that will load and layer these images in response to the users' input.

The simulators at Bluehost use Flash Player. Again you would need to manually take screen-shots of everything you wanted to simulate. It may be a little easier to create/organise the layers in Flash and to hotspot (clickable) areas that the user would interact with.
