I want to buy this OS but I need it for work, I need to be able to download a software from a DVD from a company called whellen. The DVD says it requires windows xp with sp2, windows vista or windows 7. Will I be able to download it using Ubuntu?

You should have a look at 4+ Ways to Run Windows Software on Linux
To me the best solution is to install Virtualbox (documentation there VirtualBox/Installation
And then to install your version of Windows 7 via Install windows 7 through virtual box
The only thing to be sure is that your processor supports virtualization.
The list on intel ones is here About Intel® Virtualization Technology
Then install your "whellen software" within the virtualbox directly from your PC DVD drive.
wine
