Some will running WINE - a Windows emulation SW package - it is integrated into Ubuntu.

Couple of thoughts:

Ubuntu is good - Kubuntu (Ubuntu with the KDE desktop GUI) I think is better for those just starting out.

I actually have a USB drive with Puppy Linux and KDE - it is a little quirky, but super fast!

For alternative software - see here
