  • Not really. It is just translating the Windows system API calls into Linux system API calls. It’s not emulating Windows, it’s an entirely different implementation that doesn’t necessarily match that of Microsoft’s implementation. It had it own workarounds to make buggy code work.

    You wouldn’t call a Java Virtual Machine an emulator of another JVM either, they’re just different implementations of the same specification.
