[Wine] Re: New to Linux and Wine, need to know a few things

[semint]

Sorry, I think I didn't explain myself well. What I meant to ask is how Wine runs Windows apps within Linux? Do you need to install a second copy of Windows within a virtual disc in a virtual machine, or does it read the Windows installation that is on the other physical disc and launches the apps from there?

Also, can it run 64 bit apps, like Photoshop and After Effects CS5?
