|Full description=Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to unixlike systems as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run.

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.
