"wine" is a "Windows Emulator". It allows programs compiled to run under Windows to run on Linux systems. To make that work on a Pi would require not only simulating the Windows system calls, but the x86 instructions as well. End result is that anything that is expecting a system built any time in the last decade is going to run v*e*r*y s*l*o*w*l*y. The startling thing would be that such programs can be made to run at all.
