Works in the same manner as Wine on Linux but does the reverse. It is a Win=
dows application that executes unmodified Linux applications on Windows by =
intercepting Linux system calls. Not really an emulator since they run dire=
ctly on the CPU (as does Wine on Linux).

It runs applications like GhostView, Netscape, Bash, etc. Quite amazing rea=
lly.

There was another comment (from xod I think) about Windows being based on D=
OS. While this may be true for Windows 95/98, it is not for Windows NT and =
2000. Windows NT is closer to VMS than to DOS. See:
