    Where I'm now
    Use wine.It creates a virtual windows environment and creates stuff like program files etc. so that you can run win proggys on linux.It was specially made for games.And there are some others but they are not fre.

    1.go to synaptic package manager
    2.find wine
    3.put tick
    4.apply and wait
    5.done

    but i don't think wine will work properly with complex software's. but give a try. i use utorrent in wine and work properly.
