Wine allows you to create separate ''containers'' for wine installations.
(each representing a different windows system). Each one of these containers
is called a wine '''prefix'''. You are encouraged to create a separate wine
prefix for each program.

wine is a program that converts win32 executables into programs that can run natively on *nix systems. This is very awesome, and enables you to use software that would otherwise be unavailable to you (such as MS office, games, etc).

As a user-friendly alternative to managing wine directly (managing multiple wine versions, prefixes etc) a program called playonlinux was created to wrap around it. It is very convenient.
