Crossover Office allows to run Windows native application directly in Linux using the Windows Emulator
Linux's repositories contains over 24,000+ entirely free and open-source applications. But if certain Windows® applications are indispensable, 'CrossOver Office' from Codeweavers is a commercial linux software that allows installation of legally licensed versions of these applications so that they can run natively as an application in Linux (without an underlying Windows® OS license).

CrossOver's "The Great American Presidential Lame Duck Challenge" is giving away for a limited time one free licence + annual support for any one CrossOver product to each web registrant as the American administration inadvertently achieved a challenge of bringing down fuel prices to $2.79 or lesser.
Vmware creates a virtual machine within Linux that can be loaded with any Operating System
The coup de grâce for the proprietary systems: Using a visualisation software, a computer can be logically split into virtual machines, each of which can be loaded with any (licensed) Operating System. Installing Linux as the main OS and running the original licensed OS in a virtual machine will help in slowly de-addicting the user from proprietary operating systems.
