You're only solution to run MS inside of Linux would be a virtual machine, I tried it with Wine and it is impossible (for me) to get it to run. I believe it is the draconian security measures being unsupported. I recommend dual booting. If I know I'm only going to be using the computer for the intrawebz/programming I boot into Ubuntu, if I feel like gaming I boot into Windows. It has worked fine for me.
