Run window applications in ubuntu.....Install Wine in ubuntu

New to ubuntu? Miss windows applications?? Well you can enjoy Window applications in ubuntu with the help of WINE, even i enjoy games of windows plateform in ubuntu such as AGE OF EMPIRE..., and also MS OFFICE in ubuntu.
Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows.Wine is still under active development. Not every program works yet, however there are already several million people using Wine to run their software.
