Linux doesn't run Windows binaries and you should never assume that it does -- 
there is no such connection.  Now, if that distro ships with Wine, that's 
something different.  Wine runs on every distro, so you could say that "you 
can run windows apps on any windows distribution, provided that app is 
supported by Wine."
