## What it is
A Docker image bundling Wine and Winetricks for running Windows applications on Linux and macOS hosts. It supports X11 forwarding, headless Xvfb, or an RDP server (xrdp with XFCE) for display and audio via PulseAudio.

## Use cases
- run Windows applications on Linux without installing Wine
- run Windows apps on macOS via Docker
- run Wine in a headless environment over remote desktop
- test Windows software in an isolated container
- run Wine commands like winecfg or winetricks in a disposable environment

## When to choose
- you need to run Windows software on Linux or macOS without polluting the host with Wine dependencies
- you want isolated, reproducible Wine environments for testing
- you need to run Windows apps on a headless server via RDP

## When to avoid
- you need near-native graphics performance for games or GPU-heavy apps
- you are on Windows already and can run apps natively
- you need a full Windows VM with a complete Windows license environment
