Which Windows software do you want to run on Ubuntu ? WINE is the most convenient method though

You can also install a windows virtual machine using a application like Virtual Box or other similar.

What is WINE

 

[AMSSMA]

Wine allows you to run many Windows programs on Linux. Its homepage can be found at WineHQ - Run Windows applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X

Try PlayOnLinux.............. it is a wine derivative. but best for games and some popular softwares
