This is cool and a lot lighter than WINE, though the important keyword is self-contained Windows libraries. I gather this won't work on DLLs that call any of the plethora of Windows APIs. I'm actually very surprised that any non-trivial DLLs are self-contained in this way, like his example of Windows Defender which I thought would call 1000 Windows API functions.



Like... in Wine? (Yes I read the readme)


Much smaller and without wineserver too.


I would imagine anti virus products are more self contained so that they don't rely on potentially compromised code.
