The main reason to use emulation software is to run applications that are not available for your operating system inside your operating system. I recently had a slightly different motivation.
While tidying up, I found this old adventure computer game I loved to play while being in school (yes, it is really old ;) ). Suffering some nostalgic feelings, I installed it (Windows of course), just to find out that it only runs on Windows 95. OK, that's bad. But then I tried running it with wine on my Linux desktop and guess what: It works perfectly :)
Wine saves the day (OK, this is ambiguous ;) ).
