Re: Run Windows exe on Linux Platform

Hi, I am the regular user of windows and I don't think that it is possible to run your windows based exe files on your Linux platform. So, I would suggest you to don't switch over to Linux from Windows. As there are many small software's which are needed are based on the Windows operating system, and that will not run on the linux platform, which will cause problem for you. So, use windows based operating system only to improve your performance.

Hey, this is quiet same question which I would like to ask to the users of the Linux Operating System. If anyone is using the Linux Operating system, then please help me to get the information about it. If it is possible to run the exe files on the Linux Operating System then I can move from Windows Xp operating system to the Linux Operating system. So, help me to get this information as soon as possible as now I am bored to use Windows and want some change.

Hello, I am not the user of the Linux Platform, but you can use the Wine software to run your exe files which are windows operating based. So, first you need to install the wine on your linux operating system and then you can run your exe files by the use of the Wine software. I have not used till yet this as I am user of the Windows operating system, but one of my friend is using Linux and he mostly use this wine software to run exe files without any problem. So, you can use this software to solve your problem.
