Wine 1.4 released Posted Mar 7, 2012 22:00 UTC (Wed) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] A predictable comment, but of course it emulates Windows despite the claim otherwise in the name.

It's linguistically emulating Windows...

Does Linux emulate the POSIX API? Or does it implement the POSIX API?

I have been told that unless it is evaluated and confirmed by some specific agencies.. Linux emulates POSIX versus implements it :).

Linux loosely implements POSIX so I would say that it does emulate it instead. There are even times where Linux has gone against POSIX when it feels that a better implementation is available.

Like LWN, Wine is now just Wine (notice the capitalization) and not an acronym anymore.

Even when it was an acronym, it stood for Wine Is Not an Emulator.
