Application: Wine Windows Compatibiity Layer
Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer
Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Linux. Lots of popular games can be run flawlessly with wine:
- EVE online
- Guild Wars
- Counter Strike
- Warcraft III
- Half Life II
Full applications list can be found here : http://appdb.winehq.org/
Applications are run at full speed without the need of cpu emulation. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, however it can use native system dll files in place of its own if they are available.
This package includes a program loader for running unmodified Windows executables as well as the Wine project's free version of the Windows API for running programs ported from Windows.

A must have, so you can run under linux the very few windows applications that you haven't replaced yet with native linux applications. You might install PlayOnLinux that eases the installation of the windows applications.
