wine users - Aug 2011 - HELP! How do I know if WINE is installed or will work? HELP!

I just wanted Rosetta Stone. But after my computer recently bricked and I loaded
ubuntu 11.04 onto it, I discovered wine, which would hopefully be my answer to
make the pirated version of the $350+ program work. I have never seriously used
linux before, so I have been stabbing blindly through the process of setup and
whatnot based on the vague internet guides I have found. I have:
Q4wine
Wine Microsoft windows compatibility layer
Playon Linux
Winetricks
I dont know what any of this means, i just downloaded them because it seemed
like it would enhance the original (whichever one that is). After tweaking a
whole bunch of stuff (feel free to ask about what these are... I can't think
of them through the blur of this foreign language), I don't know if it's
actually istalled correctly, will take rosetta stone, or anything at all! Please
help!! I am just a newb with no serious geeks to help me :(  :(  :(

Not with our help. Pirated software is not supported here. Do not ask about it
again or you will risk being banned.

To learn how to use Wine, start by reading http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ. Feel free
to start a new post for help with any legally-obtained software.
