I want to install Steam/TF2 on the lab computer in my dorm, but don't have privileges. However, I can boot linux from usb without any problems. Can an idiot install software to a windows computer through usb-booted linux?

Don't use lab computers for gaming, dipshit.
Alternatively, just crack or replace the fucking Windows passwords. It's not exactly hard to do.

That depends on whether or not you need to make changes to the registry.

Install a Windows program onto the Windows operating system using Linux? I was not aware that this was possible.

It isn't if the installer edits the registry. Wine won't edit the Windows registry, it will edit its own.

He asked a qq and you guys ain helping.. Like me, I want steam on my school pc but i need admin. I have tons of games on this school PC but not steam! someone please be a little helpful here.
Easy, get admin privilege with a linux live CD, change the admin password, etch... Use something called: chntpw
As Root
# cd /mnt/hda1/WINDOWS/system32/config/
# chntpw -l SAM
Find the user you want
# chntpw -u "USER" SAM
Rest is pretty straightforward.
Depending on your distro it might be /media/ instead of /mnt/, also system32, could be system64 (if that's what it's called on x64, I never used a windows x64)
