There are a number of emulators which attempt, with varying degrees of sucess, to create a windows environment on Linux. The granddaddy of them all is:- http://www.winehq.org/ There have been various forks of that project:- http://www.codeweavers.com/home/ and http://www.transgaming.com/ are probably the best known, but neither is fully free.
