wine has been around forever practically now, and it's slow.. only
performs on the windows 98 platform (correct me if i'm wrong..). it's
not a feasable solution for servers either because it's not without
it's flaws - it's not stable enough to run mission critical. take it
however you want.. but IMO if you want something to do a windows job,
install a virtual machine and have windows do that job..

it is becoming a point and click reality of some Linux distributions with
Wine configured to run .exe extensions. Although this is still an extremely
experimental solution... it is a working solution.
