Wine is listed in the Add/Remove Applications program as "Wine Windows
Emulator" but I thought "Wine Is Not an Emulator" (WINE)?

Wine allows emulation of Windows for programs that require windows.
Although the name of application may be "Wine Is Not Windows", it still
lets you emulate.

That's just what the acronym means, it doesn't mean that's what Wine IS. Of
course it's an emulator. I've been all over those arguments a million
times, and it's still intended to run Windows programs in a Linux
environment - exactly the sort of thing emulators do.
