What's the purpose of running Wine on Windows?

wine sometimes has superior compat for some XP/vista era vidya than modern windows.

90% of legacy 90s/00s 32 bit era programs won’t launch no matter what on windows, so I’ll have to give this a try.

PCem is also very good.

PCem is intended for things before the Pentium II released in 1997. PCem will go up to Pentium MMX.

I didn’t even know you can run WINE on Windows

DXVK in particular is one of the recommended ways to get Fallout 3/NV working reasonably well, too.
