Now if someone told me that wine works like this: That makes wine an artificial environment (albeit a very good one) that’s an app on an OS. Hardware -> Linux (or other OS) -> wine (application) -> Windows application wants or it won’t run so you are going to create API’s no matter what to emulate Windows, how you do it I don’t playing into what you call the software. You have to have API’s that the Windows app. I don’t buy into that, nor do I see any reason to deny what it is, emulation is not a dirty word. Instead we’ll call it a translator or alternative API’s or whatever. You (or they) are trying to say that “because we recreated the Windows environment ‘this way’” we’re not going to call it an emulator.

It is also true that when they can, they will and should, make direct translations between Linux’s native code and Windows API calls as this will be the thinnest fastest code. It is however an emulation of the Windows environment and therefore it is an emulator, regardless of what they say. Some technical points though since I did take the time to learn a little bit about it. I installed it and had a quick look, I’ll probably play with it some day but I’m a little busy right now. LOL, maybe I should have done a little research on it before making any statements since the wine people they say they are not an emulator and that’s what the name implies (I checked after reading your post).
