You ran it off the disc I would assume, so your reading from the disc constantly which is much slower then if you were to install it.

You can use basically any windows program using wine or vm (vm will actually run faster then your normal windows)

Wine is a windows emulator for linux. It allows you to run windows programs under windows.

VM = Virutal Machine. You can use Vitural machine or virtual box to install windows inside of linux, just like how people install linux inside of windows.

I would recommend moving to debian after awhile as it is much more stable, faster, and more powerful.

Playonlinux you could probably play football manager.
Vegas doesn't work and total media extreme wouldn't work on it easily.
