I'm using a thinlinc client only provided in linux format to connect on a linux development server for my professional usage when I'm working from home.
The linux64 emulation is perfectly working and I don't see why to complain about the emulation, it is a viable solution when you don't need or want a linux.
Some program are probably more complex to satisfy for there libraries (probably some are not even able to be satisfied), but it is a very handy complementary feature.
