    wine is a program that is used to run widows programs in linux. But u cannot run all programs in it. Its a bit limited. Just open wine and in that select the windows .exe file u wanna open in linux and wine will try to open it as a standalone thing. For example i once used wine to extract rar files. I jus copied winrar.exe to my desktop in linux and i run it. It'l open as a standalone. But if u need to open some game like thing u cannot do it.
