It just came to my mind, that WINE not only stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, but also could be interpreted as: WINdows Emulator.

I wonder if that was intentional, before I knew the acronym I always thought the WIN part stood for windows. But they added an E so it would spell Wine instead. Calling a program Win would just be confusing.

In the days of DOS you would run 'win' to open windows assuming it was installed and not in your autoexec
