If the software is Wine-aware, it doesn't matter. The \\unix\ filesystem namespace allows programs running under Wine to access the host filesystem whether it's mapped as a drive or not. And, of course, since Wine Is Not an Emulator, it could also use POSIX APIs or Linux kernel syscalls directly if it wanted to.

Have there been reports of Wine-aware malware already? (If not, the next generation probably will, though.)
