You're not wrong.  However, there are viruses that won't work under
WINE. (Go figure.)

I recall fanfare over the fact that a virus had failed to work under
WINE, and that there was subsequent debate in the WINE community as to
whether to fix the broken functionality the virus had tried to use.
(Something to do with registry access, IIRC.)
