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).
