So what you're saying is that Wine works on its own as a Windows installation, it doesn't need a real Windows to run, just software that runs under Windows?


That's correct. And you can put an icon on the desktop for the program you want to run, just as if it were a Windows system. Snap on the icon, and the program will run. (Assuming you don't have some goofy Linux distro that doesn't
support desktop icons.)
