A recent post at WineHQ shows (a google-translation of) the new release of the Linux Unified Kernel (Longene) project where the developers indicate how they've moved WINE's wineserver functionality into kernel-space and used several techniques to make running unmodified x86 Windows binaries on native ARM platforms running Linux and the new Longene kernel module (plus a custom QEMU). They claim they can already run Microsoft Office software such as Powerpoint and Excel at "acceptable" speeds on an ARM 1.0 GHz processor.

Do note that the cross-cpu functionality is currently claimed to be in development for Longene 2.0 and not the current 1.0 release.
