Don't know about that. If you're thinking about Win4Lin, then no, if you're
thinking about Lindows, then yes.

Win4Lin is a program which uses virtualization to run the Windows OS under
Linunx,
(only Linux as it requires linux kernel patches) Lindows is a Linux+Wine OS
which attempts to provide for a cheap (perhaps free and open-source?)
alternative to MS Windows.
