A list of Windows apps. that work using Wine can be found on the Wine Application Database (AppDB)

Wine will not run all windows applications and it should be considered somewhat of a compromise rather than an absolute solution
Overall a Linux based platform can perform most of the tasks equally as well as a proprietary platform using the likes of Ubuntu and its derivative distros. However Linux does have its limitations with some applications and in particular gaming. For example I retain a dedicated Windows partition to run specific applications such as Office 2010 etc.

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 LTS which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 LTS its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 LTS then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

Linux Mint 9 LTS can also be run straight from the LiveCD from Boot without touching your Hard Drive
Once you have installed Linux Mint 9 LTS you can bring it up to date with easy tweaks like upgrading the Kernel to 2.6.38 and installing Firefox 4
