Actually, WINE is really a recursive acronym [ (W)ine (I)s (N)ot an (E)mulator ], and the code is not an emulator. It's a set of libraries (.DLL's in MS Windows terms) that intercept calls and replace them with the Linux equivalents while running. It's more like a MOD for windows .EXE's. If you're running on an Intel platform there is no emulation going on.
