Wrong. Wine emulates the Win 32 API.
Its original name was WINdows Emulator.
They changed it because some people got confused between HW and SW emulation.
The clue is also that it originally was in the emulator newsgroups.
There is lots to google but trust me.
The term "emulate" does not mean "perfect" in any way and you are right that the WINE does not work with Desktop Manager but more surprisingly runnign real Windows under VMWare or Virtualbox still does not work for updating SW on the Storm.
