While there a program called "Wine" that is supposed to run Windows not all Windows programs run on it.
There, however, thousands of Linux programs that can do the same thing as the Windows version (if not better).
Check out some web site of professionals that have switched to Linux (Chris Titus is a very good example).
Unless you are running some very specialized Windows software I think you will find Linux Mint a very good alternative to Windows.
Linux is much less likely to get a virus and doesn't force updates on you (you do then when/if you want to).
