        "There was much mocking in the Linux camp this weekend when it was
        discovered that the Sir Cam virus will run under the Open Source
        operating system - but only under the Wine Windows emulator.
        Although Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) is not technically a Windows
        emulator for Linux, it is a compatibility layer allowing Windows
        binaries to run on the Linux OS. It is that compatibility that enables
        it to run the Sir Cam virus.
        Reports emerging over the weekend have confirmed that the Sir Cam which
        spread across the internet throughout July, runs under Wine."
