Pocket Fritz 2 & Kasparov Chessmate
I have both Pocket Fritz 2 and Kasparov Chessmate installed on my iPaq. Both are excelent for opponents and I find that I use them for two different purposes. Pocket Fritz 2 is excelent for learning and researching your game, and it displays it'd own thinking as it plays. I use it for researching openings and developing my tactical play. Kasparov Chessmate is a great opponent and I tend to play complete games with this in it's 3D mode (for me it's more pleasing on the eye during a long drawn out game). Kasparov works on WM2003, and there's a patch for Fritz 2 on their website. I can't confirm this as HP haven't released the new OS in the UK yet? (anyone know where I can download it?)
Two point's I think I should mention; Pocket Fritz 2 is a developemet of the Chess Tiger engine, not the Fritz 8 engine (a moot point I guess), and in the UK you can buy Kasparov Chessmate in PC world, and the CD has both the PDA version and the desktop version on it.
Hope this helps.

PS. I also run Microsoft Chess and I quite like that too.
