And here's a funny one :

a Linux user wanted, for some reason, to run MS Exchange on his Linux
server, so he installed WINE and set it all up.
Exchange worked like a sweet thing and he was mightily impressed - until he
subsequently got an Exchange Virus and his installation was trashed :o)

Luckily, it didn't bring down anything other than Exchange, but it just goes
to show how 'effective' WINE is at emulating Windows. (WINE = Wine Is Not
(an) Emulator).

Hehe but that has a dose of truth, if you consider WINE :-)
