okay
thanks for your effort
I just realized wine really isn't really the way to go. I noticed wine is only used to run specific programs from windows. you'd have to specify the name of the program to run. too much stress involved
what am really interested in is being able to work directly with every thing windows got to offer while at the same time working on linux. understand me??? I mean, say I'm working in linux and I want to switch to windows without having to reboot, what kinda program do I need to get???
what would you rather suggest I do???

winetricks
WINETRICKS(1) Wine package manager WINETRICKS(1)
NAME
winetricks - manage virtual windows environments using wine
SYNOPSIS
winetricks [options] [verb ... ]
DESCRIPTION
winetricks is an easy way to work around common problems in Wine.
It provides simple commands to tweak Wine settings, download and install missing Windows DLLs and fonts, or install various games or apps
with appropriate workarounds for the current version of wine.
It can be used via gui or commandline. The commandline mode is intended both for interactive use and as a building block in fancier wine
frontends and in automated regression testing.
winetricks with no arguments displays a GUI using either Zenity or Kdialog.
OPTIONS
--force
Don't check whether packages were already installed
--gui Show gui diagnostics even when driven by commandline
-k, --keep_isos
Cache isos (allows later installation without disc)
--no-clean
Don't delete temp directories (useful during debugging)
--no-isolate
Don't install each app or game in its own bottle
-q, --unattended
Don't ask any questions, just install automatically
-r, --ddrescue
Retry hard when caching scratched discs
--showbroken
Even show verbs that are currently broken in wine
-v, --verbose
Echo all commands as they are executed
-h, --help
Display this message and exit
-V, --version
Display version and exit
Commands:
list list categories
apps list

benchmarks list

EXAMPLES

If set, this is path to system's user data cache (default: $HOME/.cache) W_CACHE path to Winetricks' user data cache (default:
