I use it on one of my desktops, but still use Windows 7 on the other.

You can get an Application from the Software Centre called Wine and it allows you to run Windows Applications, I have used it for programs and games that would not otherwise run on Linux.

I had the same issue with wireless on a laptop, but there is something you can get to use the windows drivers to make it run on Ubuntu. Also depending on which Wireless Adapter your laptop uses some manufacturers have brought out additional linux drivers (this was the case for me).
