- In theory, if someone hacked your box, via a exploit in Windows, while you are
in an emulated mode, VMWare would be the more secure enviroment from a
'harddrive access' point of view, as the entire OS is running within a container,
while WINE is loading the Windows dlls within Linux. But, WINE would be more
surcure from the point of view that you would not be running any other
'Windows' software that could be exploited. Both scenarios are unlikely though,
as most remote exploits take advantage of insecure software running on the
host machine.
So overall, WINE is your best bet.
