Virtualization of operating systems used to be slow and hard to use. Advances such as the KQemu accelerator, VirtualBox, VMWare, Xen and of course the recent integration of KVM virtualization into the Linux kernel have helped out a lot though, especially on the server side, but for a normal user, virtualization could be somewhat clunky. Mac users have been able to run their Windows applications like this using Parallels Coherence, yet now other *nix users can too. Ordinary desktop or business users who require applications from another operating system can benefit from a seamless desktop.

Don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that PC-BSD distributes Photoshop? I'd love to see what Adobe thinks about it.
I googled a bit and I found plain nothing about PC-BSD and Wine working in such a way. Could you please provide a link where it is explained what you mean? Such a feature won't pass unnoticed.

I'd say they're talking about:

Looks like it's the full version bundled together with WINE but you naturally have to enter your legit product key.

No, PC-BSD doesn't come with WINE, but the software packages come with a copy of WINE, preconfigured and tested.
