It is actually pretty simple. Only hardware requirement, your CPU needs to support the hadware virtualization extensions (recent Intel and AMD cpu's have that). If you have that you start the virtualization manager point it to a .iso image of a Windows install CD and you are ready. The rest works the same as virtualizing Linux.
You should be able to use the vmware cpu check tool as an easy check to determine if your CPU has those instructions or not. (sometimes looking up cpu info to match it with specific features can be a pain)

It says it's for 64-bit compatibility but the same instructions are needed at least for VMWare.
