At your disposal.
I've heard that OpenRPG is a useful tool for this. I've just installed it to make sure there is no virus/exploit out there (it is virus-free) and, imo, it looks nice.
Features:

- has a board
- has an integrated dice roller
-
should have several 'RPG systems' included internally
Download:

This program is 100% legal, GPLv2 license, so you can use it even on your work computer :P.
Installation (will instruct for WinXP, as I don't have Vista/Win7):
- download the file OpenRPG1.8.0.exe
- allow it to download Python 2.1.2 (this is a programming language, doubles as a great calculator)
- allow it to download a specific library for the Python
- install everything
- when OpenUpdater window appears, allow it to update
- run
- it
might seem that between the splashscreen disappearing and board appearing the program has quit; it didn't. I had to wait ~20 seconds and I have a decent computer (in my opinion).

I haven't really played with it yet, but I heard it is quite a good tool. Looks interesting enough, for the first glance, and it might really help you out if someone takes the time to read a tutorial / readme files. If you will have any specific questions, I can try to answer them, though bear in mind I am new to this program too.

What have I tested:
- dice rolling works (unless you mess up with the diceroller, like I inputted '/diceroller 1d6' into chat. Don't. Recovery: '/diceroller std')
- adding miniatures works
- changing orientation of the miniatures works

Combination of the program above + Skype/Ventrilo/Gizmo/whatever you wish might be the best option for you.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with this program whatsoever ;-)
