wine is the project to natively support the Windows application on the Linux platform. But people who have tried to use it know that there are lot of dependencies on the Windows programs which cannot be resolved so easily :). There is a project called <a href="http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/" target="_blank">wine-doors. Here is the screen shot of wine-doors.
