Software For Other Operating Systems

You can run applications created for other Operating Systems inside Ubuntu using two different approaches:

• Running a different OS inside Ubuntu (typically done with virtualization).
• Using a Windows compatibility layer, like Wine or Cedega

In general, desktop and server apps work better with virtualization, multimedia apps like games work better with Wine or Cedega.

Playing Windows Games

Some Windows games have a Linux installer included on the installation CD, such as Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004.

A small number of Windows games can be run using the Wine emulator, such as World of Warcraft.

Alternatively, Cedega can be used to play many Windows games, including Half Life 2, Battlefield 1942 and most popular first person shooters. Cedega is a commercial, non-free version of Wine which is optimised for running Windows games. If Cedega can't play a Windows game, then it is unlikely that the game can run under Linux at all.

Running Well-Known Windows Desktop Apps

If you need to run a well-known Windows application - for example Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, or World of Warcraft - check if it is supported by Wine by using the Wine Application Database. If not, see below.

Running Any Windows Desktop or Server App

You can run any Windows desktop or server application - with the exception of games - using a variety of virtualization tools.

• Ubuntu 6.06, 6.10, and 7.04 can run Windows, and all its apps, using
  • VirtualBox - Simple, Open Source, and can run all versions of Windows including Vista.
  • VMware - Also simple, and more well known than VirtualBox. However VMware is proprietary software.
  • Xen - Open Source, but complex and slower than VMware and KVM for running Windows.
• Ubuntu 7.04 also includes two virtualization tools that can run Windows in Linux:
  • Kernel Virtualization (KVM) requires an Intel or AMD CPU that supports VT or Pacifica technology.
  • QEmu works on all systems. Feisty includes the kqemu driver, necessary to run Windows XP at speed.

Seamless Virtualization shows how to make applications from virtualized Windows OS appear directly on the Linux desktop.
