Using MS programs in Ubuntu

Question

I like most computer users, have many Windows based programs. Can these be operated under Ubuntu and if so what is required. Thanks for your help Chris

Answer 1

You can run programs that are designed for windows with "wine".
Just install "wine" and then you should be able to install those programs.
I think that you can install wine by typing (in the terminal):
sudo apt-get install wine
and typing your password when prompted for it.

Answer 2

Sure you can - http://wiki.winehq.org/. Most of the windows software can run with wine.
