Natively, that is with out any additional software, ubuntu and other 
forms of linux can not run windows software. but there is a program 
released for ubuntu users (as well as other linux users) that gives your 
ubuntu the capability to run windows software.

the program is called "wine" and it can be downloaded and installed by 
typing the following in the ubuntu terminal:

sudo apt-get install wine


For a list of software compatible with wine, visit: appdb.winehq.org/

Hope this helps
