Sounds like virus central. I would have thought having a small Linux in the browser would have been better.

This is a Linux in the browser. It's there to run WINE.

Absolutely incredible project!

(Also, it's in the browser sandbox so you don't have to worry about viruses)

Its not really linux but elf loader + shim that implements enough of linux kernel to run wine
