I like most computer users, have many Windows based programs. Can these be operated under Ubuntu and if so what is required. Thanks for your help Chris

You can run programs that are designed for windows with "wine".
Just install "wine" and then you should be able to install those programs.
I think that you can install wine by typing (in the terminal):
sudo apt-get install wine
and typing your password when prompted for it.

    It should be noted that this will only work with most, not all of the Windows software. Particularly, more complicated software like games, graphics design, etc. wont work without quite a bit of effort (or not at all) – kiri Sep 30 '13 at 04:20

Sure you can - http://wiki.winehq.org/. Most of the windows software can run with wine.
