Reminds me of the article written which tests the Wine emulation of
Windows by attempting to infect it with viruses. Most just crashed,
some did nothing. Conclusion, Wine is not a true Windows emulator.

Please do not be so sure of this. If you are a user of Wine, for
instance follow the Savihost/VST thread for a reason, and should you,
for some reason, load that CD while in a program running under Wine,
then is seems possible that files will get installed. Whether Wine
would react to these files is a complete guess. Not likely, I think,
but certainly not impossible, depending on what gets installed. This seems to be rolling on!
They will always roll. This is of no relevance to users of free
software systems in this respect.
