Yes and no. Linux will not run Windows applications by itself, however, there are ample tools written for Linux that permit you to run Windows applications on Linux. The open-source WINE software will run a majority of Windows software on Linux. You can even configure Linux to automatically recognize Windows applications and use WINE to run them. Alternatively, there's a wide variety of virtual machine products that permit you to run the Windows operating system as an application under Linux, and, in turn, any Windows applications inside the Windows virtual environment. Finally, some "Windows applications" are written in .Net or Java and can be run directly under Linux using mono and java respectively (albeit, some .Net applications will not yet run under mono).

Will Microsoft .NET applications run in Linux?
Some will, if you install Mono. By default, most Linux distributions do not include support for them, though.
Can you run net in any platform?
No... .Net will definitely run on Windows and Windows Mobile platforms, most parts and features can be made to work on Mac OSX and Linux. You can only run .Net applications on platforms that have a version of the .Net Framework installed. * Microsoft has only provided application support for Windows and Windows Mobile platforms. * Silverlight applications (inside of a browser) may be run on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. * ** NOTE: The silverlight package will need to be downloaded. * Mono is an OpenSource implementation of the .Net framework for Linux (subset of Microsoft .Net framework) * The latest version of Wine claims to allow .Net 3.5 installation.
Can you run Linux applications on Windows?
Yes, if the program is open source.
How do you run an windows or mac program on Linux?
You don't run macOS applications on Linux unless there's a Linux port. As far as Windows goes, there is Wine. Do note that it's not an emulator and it won't run perfectly with everything.
Why a company not want to use Linux on desktop?

What is the purpose of a virtual machine running Linux?
The use of a Linux Virtual Machine is to run a copy of Linux on your current operation system. This will allow you to run various applications that only run on Linux.
Why Linux is a very common platform for websites and applications that run them?
Because Linux is highly stable and highly secure. One can generally turn a Linux server outward onto the Internet and not have to worry about it.
Is ASP.NET or PHP better for building WEB 2.0 applications?
PHP is more universal since it can run on Windows, Linux, Unix, etc. ASP.net must run on a Windows web server (specifically IIS). You can use Mono on Linux and other platforms to develop and run .NET applications, but PHP is still more universal. You also have better chances of finding open source extensions and code for specific purposes for PHP. With ASP.net you will probably need to pay for some commercial components.
What sort of operating system does a Damn Small Linux use?

Can you run programs compiled with Turbo C on Linux?
Turbo C cannot compile native Linux binaries, only programs for MS-DOS. MS-DOS applications can be run on Linux through a variety of methods, including DOSEMU, DOSBox, QEMU, Bochs, and VirtualBox.
Is there a Linux distro that will install and run Windows programs?
by default Linux doesnt support windows applications although wine and crossover can install and run them. you can take a look at winehq.org and www.codeweavers.com for more information on it and whether your application is supported.
