I think that WINE is going to have a rebirth now that many major hardware vendors are committed to Unix. On NT, Digital had an I386 emulator/translator. I routinely used Office 95 on the Alphas. Wine does not need to emulate at the chip level, but it does need to get some of the basic functionality tied down.
