Bug Description
Binary package hint: wine
Please make it easier to install and run Windows programs.
For instance, when you click on an EXE or a COM file, Ubuntu should automatically use Wine to run it. Its too difficult for Windows users to install and run Windows programs. We want to be able to download a Windows program onto our desktop, double click on it and install or run it as we do on Windows.

Ubuntu does automatically use wine to run an EXE if wine has been installed. Compatible programs should install themselves and add shortcuts to the desktop and applications menu. I'm curious how much easier this could actually be made. Only real problem is that wine is not part of the default install.
