Argh! [W]ine [I]s [N]ot an [E]mulator! "Emulation" is normally understood as a Turing complete machine (either hardware or a virtual machine) which run an implementation of a second virtual machine. WINE doesn't (have to) do that! Which is good, because emulation almost always means a massive performance penalty.
