Software emulation on a slow machine, even in best case, is a poor substitute for native apps.

But it does prevent you from having to rewrite apps like visio and project for different platforms..

Also correct me if I am wrong but wine is not an emulator its an API implementation... VMWare is an emulator..

WINE is not software emulation, but essentially a replacement for the Windows kernel/shell that supports the same interface (API) as the native Windows.
