The Pine board uses a 64-bit ARM chip. The overwhelming majority of Windows computers use x86 chips (based on Intel's 80586 processor; the 5 in the middle is where the name "Pentium" came from). The processors are so different that software written for one will not run on the other directly. There are systems that can let you run code for one processor on another processor, but I'm about 99% sure that Wine and Crossover don't include that capability. You should be able to use Wine to run Windows software that is built for ARM processors. That won't be much, though.

I think it's more accurate to just say that no, it cannot run Windows applications.
