Wine Windows emulator for Linux
From ITCH
Information from http://www.winehq.com/
Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems. Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop.
Wine is still under development, and it is not yet suitable for general use. Nevertheless, many people find it useful in running a growing number of Windows programs.
On the wine hq website there is a database of applications that work in Wine however these do not include any major or minor accessibilty packages eg: Dragon Naturally Speaking
