Microsoft Native Code is code that is run natively using approved
versions of Microsoft Windows(tm).
Except that it isn't. It gets complicated, but all
user-level processes in Microsoft Windows and in Linux
run in emulated hardware, at least as far as the virtual
addressing and illegal instructions are concerned.
WinE emulation will of course extract some performance
because it is not communicating with the device natively.
This performance will not be felt by those using
CPU-intensive tasks, unless said tasks are heavily
utilizing the Win32 et al API.

Linux makes one use one's mind.
Windows just messes with one's head.
