Powerusers stay in linux, and any unix environment shall remain as such. Windows = gaming, Unix-like = everything else.... except for M$ office apps :P They are crappy in OS X anyways, and FYI: OS X is technically dumb down linux/unix for the pretentious bourgeois moron.
Virtualization is not emulation. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine.

Like CyclesMcHurtz says, there is no changing of code for the underlying hardware to understand, therefore a hypervisor does not emulate any code. WINE just provides the DLLs to Windows executables will run, a hypervisor runs between the OS and hardware and controlls what VM gets what resources on a host. Neither does any translation because its all x86 code.
