If you must have a free solution, a FileZ-like software will do the file transfer job, but you can buy a couple of card readers for ~$50. The card readers will be way faster than a hot sync.
As for notes, they do sync to Plam Desktop, but if you mean MS Outlook then most palms come with PocketMirror which syncs the palm to MS Office including Notes / Memo Pad.

Good luck getting a WinNT/XP program to run under Win4Lin. Last time I checked Win4Lin only supports Win9x/Me.
The upgrade version is the EXACT same software. The only difference is the upgrade version does not come with a new set of manuals.
