WINE isn't linux exclusive though. It works on MacOS and would pointless on Windows.
Actually, a long time ago – it was the good old Wine 0.9.8 time – I suggested that one could use Wine on Windows (WoW basically) to get an old application to run. Which worked.
The rational was that it worked on Linux with Wine, but no compat mode on Windows XP(?) was able to run this piece oft software.
It was a wilder time back then.
