Wine coming to Android, will run Windows apps on Google's mobile OS

Android apps on Windows? Been there, done that. Try running Windows programs on 
Android for size. Alexandre Julliard, the developer behind the Wine 
compatibility layer, gave an update about an ARM-friendly flavor of the 
software and showed off a version that runs on Android at the 2013 Free and 
Open source Software Developers' European Meeting. According to Phoronix, the 
demo of a Windows app running on Android was "horrendously slow," but Julliard 
chalks that up to the fact that the sample was chugging along on an Android 
emulator. Wine for Mountain View's OS is said to be an active work-in-progress, 
so there's no word on when it might find its way into the wild just yet.
