    Not only this Zorin OS has Wine installed so you can easily install Windows applications on your Linux system. You can download any .exe file and it will work on Zorin OS.

Yeaaaah no, unless they pulled some legit wizardry here that's a severe overstatement - Wine has heavy compatibility issues with anything more complex than a web browser. Games, even the most simple, are right out of the question because of DirectX, Internet Explorers and whatever sound libraries Windows use now (and 90% of the stuff that I saw actually COULD run on Wine had a native Windows release anyway). Good luck with anything that deals with file management too.
