If it turns out that Win32 APIs+Wine+Javascript is the ultimate cross platform way to run apps, I would laugh my heart out.

  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

  If someone releases an old Windows app for Mac and Linux using this and Electron I hope a story about it reaches HN. It'd be the ultimate combination of tech we love to hate. :)
