Heh, Wine is not an OS, it's a tool to run Windows software under Linux. Note that it isn't an emulator (it's faster than that.)

Hmmm... Since Wine gets its name from a recursive acronym (Wine Is Not an Emulator), and is it as much not an OS as it is not an emulator, perhaps it would also be legitimate to refer to it as "Wino" (Wine Is Not an OS)..?
