a .exe file is a windows installation file and it cannot be run in ubuntu (without special software). Go to Applications>Add/remove programs and search for whatever program you want. Check it and click apply.

For example if you want to get a music playing software, just search for "music" and you can read about the various applications.

robert, were you not aware that you were purchasing a Linux computer and not a Windows computer? If not, System76 may need to be more clear on that point.

Outside of finding new software from Add/Remove from your application menu, you will also find a great selection here - http://www.getdeb.net

Just be sure to goto this page and select the version of Ubuntu you are using, first. http://www.getdeb.net/distro_select.php :)
