The Wine project was initially started for enabling to run Windows software on Linux operating systems but now goes beyond to other OS, BSD and even Mac OS X.
What it provides is a development toolkit, the Winelib library, that enables compiling the Windows software on certain Unix-like systems.
A numerous team is continuously working to adapt the newest Win functions thus making it apparently work just like an emulator and enabling Unix operating systems e.g. Linux to execute almost any program or game originally written for Microsoft's operating system.
By using Darwine, which is a port of the libraries to the Darwin operating system and Mac OS X able to integrate the QEMU processor-emulator with a Mac OS-compatible edition of Wine, you can go further and run Win32 .exe files or play Windows games on PowerPC.
