This works. In fact she runs smoother than most people. She insists there's some actual technical advantage to doing it this way, but damned if I can
remember the details.
Basically, WINE is translating the Windows system calls the CoH client makes into the calls the Linux system understands. Since Linux has a
generally much lower system overhead than Windows, this uses much fewer system resources. Far more efficient than an emulator.
