WINE is a recursive acronym that stands for: WINE Is Not an Emulator.
WINE is an alternative (Linux native) implementation of the Windows
APIs. While there may be very little functional difference from the
end-user's view-point, there are significant technical differences
between an emulator and a native API implementation.
