I just downloaded Mint 17 and installed it on my number 2 machine. Nice. Similar to the Mint 16 I normally use.

There is a program you can download through the Software Manager called Wine. This lets you install and run Windows programs in Linux.

You need the installation files and you install it, funnily enough, using the

Uninstall Wine Software

Link. It doesn't work for all software but it's worth a try.
