Once you successfully port one program using WINE, the rest come pretty easy!
You just need to understand what WINE is and how it makes programs work.

I spent maybe 5 hours total to get all the programs I need working in Ubuntu

If you want a down and dirty way to get windows programs working under WINE, go to google or yahoo and search for "portable {program name}"

A great many common Win32 applications have been made to work on USB thumbdrives ... and this is the same basic functionality you need to get ANY Win32 program to run in Linux
