"In fact, with WINE there's no need for Windows at all. WINE
creates an environment that responds to Windows API calls, so apps

Windows there at all.

uses a proprietary, more up-to-date version of Wine along with some
handy extensions. The two also differ as far as support; CrossOver
is commercially supported by CodeWeavers while Wine relies on the
community for support."
