This is to the best of my knowledge, so feel free to correct me.
WINE does not require a copy of Windows, and essentially replaces
Windows. However, since it is an Open Source project, it doesn't have
the constant programmer attention given to it that VMWare and Win4Lin
get. (And they also require a copy of Windows.) As a result, it doesn't
seamlessly support all Windows apps. In fact, Corel has had to do a lot
of patching of it to get their (Windows) apps to run correctly under it.
