   Hello RAM,   
      
   It is possible to run *certain* windows applications in Ubuntu by    
   passing it through an excellent piece of software called "wine".    
   Unfortunately, not all apps will run successfully, and trial and error    
   is the only way. There's multitude of help out there if you get stuck.   
      
   If wine is not installed, you can do it by opening a terminal window    
   and entering the following commands   
      
   sudo apt-get update   
   sudo apt-get install wine   
      
   The docs for WINE can be viewed here.   
   http://www.winehq.com/site/documentation   
      
   Basically you need to "install" the software using Wine on Ubuntu as    
   you would do using windows. This then sets up the program as windows    
   would, but from within Ubuntu.   
   To do the above Windows is not actually required on your system at all.
