Another option would be to run a free VM on the Linux box (like VMware
Player or the many other options available) and run Windows inside
that just for the purpose of getting around this issue.
VMware offer a free converter to turn the existing Windows PC into a
VM with all the software and settings retained.
As long as you only need "normal" I/O connections via USB ports or LAN
then they should co-exist.

Why didn't she just turn off the company phone after-hours and use her
personal phone?
