On January the 18th it was released a new stable release of Wine, the 3.0. The original meaning of the recursive acronym is “Wine Is Not an Emulator”.
So Wine, instead of emulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator such as VirtualBox do (remember that a virtual machine is like a full operating system inside another) translates Windows API calls to Android API calls on-the-fly, reducing the performance and memory penalties of other methods.
