You can run some microsoft programs by using wine (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine). If you are wanting to use the windows operating system you can use something like virtualbox (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox) to run windows as a guest operating system on your Ubuntu machine.

you may want to tell us what the programs are.

note: there are linux "alternative" programs that work just as good or better.

It would be best if you go to the CodeWeavers (Sponsors of Wine) website link below and search their compability database for the apps and versions you want to run:
