From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If your computer is reasonably fast (I have managed this on a dual core, but it did have 16G ram), you can run windows in a virtual machine and use whatever software you want. You could also try wine, though I would pirate it first to see if it works if you want to do that. Virt-manager is a good tool for virtual machines, but you may want to try virtualbox as it is more beginner friendly.
I have previously used VirtualBox successfully. I am really trying to stay away from Windows if at all possible. If I absolutely had to I might run a VM with WinXP or Vista just for it
