    Yes
    
    But if you want to play games I suggest Wine which is a windows emulator that works with Linux.

    Or
    
    Cedega, however that's not free and it will cost you

    No it doesn't natively, but it "can". I have been a Linux power-user for over 10 years now and it's by far the best OS on the planet. It's written by the community and is the closest things to a "Love-made OS". Windows unfortuntely is the only platform that plays games well. You can get windows functionality within Linux, there are MANY ways to do this, here's a list:
    
    Sun Virtualbox - Virtualize a copy of windows with directx support within Linux
    Vmware Workstation 6.5 or newer, same deal, virtualize with directx support.
    
    Otherwise, winex, transgaming's DirectX emulator for Linux.
    
    I hope this helps to make a decision. I have been working on a user-friendly version of linux that windows users can use. Linux is extremely flexible so you can do anything on it!
