"Wine's not that kind of emulator" Meaning, it's ANOTHER kind, meaning it's still an emulator. It's not a full emulation, as in CPU and hardware emulation, or virtual machine, but it's an API-level emulation. If it was not, they would've put right on that page, that it was NOT an emulator. Instead, they say "Wine's not that kind of emulator"
