wine is a program that converts win32 executables into programs that can run natively on *nix systems. This is very awesome, and enables you to use software that would otherwise be unavailable to you (such as MS office, games, etc).
As a user-friendly alternative to managing wine directly (managing multiple wine versions, prefixes etc) a program called playonlinux was created to wrap around it. It is very convenient.

Prefixes
Wine allows you to create separate containers for wine installations. (each representing a different windows system). Each one of these containers is called a wine prefix. You are encouraged to create a separate wine prefix for each program.
## Creating a wine prefix ## ## do not create the directories you want for your wine setup, let winecfg do that for you. WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/home/will/.wine/x64 winecfg WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/will/.wine/x86 winecfg ## Running Wine Programs with a particular Wine Prefix export WINEPREFIX="<path to a writable folder on your home directory>" export WINEARCH="win32" wine /path/to/office_cd/setup.exe
