WINE is as close as you are likely to get.

roaring penguin - http://www.roaringpenguin.com/
(rp-pppoe), which already comes with most new versions of linux distributions like RedHat

-MSN MESSENGER.

Gabber or Psi: Jabber IM clients for linux

-Burning program with UNDERBUFFER PROTECTION.

xcdroast bites.
gtoaster is cool.

-Mp3 Player

xmms = winamp

-Some Irc Client.

xchat

-If exist a defragmentation client.

haha... windows sucks. no fragmentation here!

-some windows emulator. (Free If Possible)

wine... but it's a bit pants.

Surely it'll be your drive that defines if you have buffer underrun protection or not. The program can't do bugger all for that!

gtoaster and xcdroast are gui frontends to cdrecord which comes with all linux distro's and in the latest version (1.10) supports drives that have buffer under-run - AKA "burn proof" protection. Wine is the only free emulator and linux does not suffer from file system fragmentation, that's just another indication of the bad design that windows suffers from. Mp3, chat and PPPoE clients are many and varied under linux, it's just a matter of trying them untill you find one you like.
