There's Crossover, which is basically a paid, stable version of Wine with officially supported programs and customer support. It has a wider range of software support, but like Wine, it can't support everything. I can also suggest running Windows in a virtual machine.

No matter what, you have to use WINE in some form. One thing you might want to try is Play On Linux, which isn't just for games as the name seems to imply. Also, have you looked at the Wine app DB? That will tell you general reports about your software's compatibility.

For .NET apps you can use Mono.
