You can to some degree with an implementation of the Windows API called wine.
Also, a number of applications are cross platform and work on either, for example Firefox and OpenOffice.org. They work natively on Windows, Linux, and other platforms. -

You can install WINE or some other “Windows” simulators but windows programs will not run natively on Linux/Unix any more than linux/unix programs will run natively on windows.
