Today I am going to ask a silly like question. The question is simply this that I have two PC's one is running Ubuntu and the other windows 7. What I want to do is to completely forget about windows but I want to use all windows apps.
I know that in Ubuntu, WINE is present for running some windows apps but that is only a drop out of an ocean. So If I copy all windows dll's i.e. in Windows\system32(from my windows computer) into the wine directory of system32(the ubuntu computer). Will all windows application run?
Will I have to do something further i.e. setting the dll's using winecfg into native/local etc.

The short answer to your question is No. All the windows applications out there are not compatible with wine. The best place to see if a particular windows application is compatible with wine is browsing/searching in WineAppDB. In addition there are certain DLLs that Wine does not support (for eg: copy protection etc.). Read Wine HowTo to get a detailed view on this topic.
