    It is basically the WINE emulated with a bit of a UI facelift to 
make certain tasks easier.  I cannot say whether or not WINE has 
vulnerabilities, but you get to install your own copies of Microsoft 
products (Crossover Office lets you install the MS-Office suite and the 
Crossover plugin lets you install IE plugins), so those have the same 
ol' vulnerabilities.
    It is worth noting that you CAN install IE and run Windows Update 
to get the latest patches.  It is also worth noting this is not 
point-n-click end luser easy to do (especially if you do not know to 
look for it).  It is kind of strange/cool to see Windows Update running 
within Linux, though.
