Wine
http://www.winehq.org/
Run Windows programs on GNU/Linux, OS X and BSD
Wine lets you run Windows programs on GNU/Linux, OS X and BSD by reimplementing the Windows libraries.
Warning: some GNU/Linux distributions recommend installing the non-free Microsoft fonts when installing Wine through a package manager. To fix this, you can install it with the apt-get install --no-install-recommends wine
command.
