The approach is drastically different.  Wine does not allow you to run 
Windows.  It allows you to run some Windows applications.  If you don't care
if most apps don't run, then maybe Wine is for you :-).  Check the Wine web
site at http://www.winehq.org and do a quick browse through the application
database.  Many major products won't even install, let alone run.

"... it's reasonable to assume that Wine will be able to run more than
85% of all Windows programs within two years."

Wine is a major undertaking, but not ready for prime time yet.  VMware is a
viable solution *today*.
