Afaik it doesn't run in an emulator but more like wine. But I still do
not get why that would expose Linux itself to a greater thread? That's
still a Windows-machine getting infected. You mean like a virus, worm
whatever would be injected into the binaries and then break into
Linux-systems and infect them…like in the movies? oO
So will Fedora be removing WINE too? Because that allows win32 code
to
run on Linux...
*sarcasm*
Hm wine…I wonder what ransomware executed with wine would do…
