Wine Is Not an Emulator
Wine is a free computer application that allows software written for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems, e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE and OS X. Note, however, that Wine includes no programming code from the Windows operating system. A database of Windows applications is maintained based on user-contributed test results for a wide range of products, including Microsoft Office, games, networking and multimedia software.
The name 'Wine' derives from the recursive acronym Wine Is Not an Emulator.

- Since the last few upgrades to the Linux kernel, have you seen any improvements in Wine? Seems like most people are using emulators like VirtualBox. Is there any advantage to using Wine instead of VB or similar?
