Pick Boxedwine if…
Boxedwine may suit people who need to run 16-bit or 32-bit Windows applications on a listed desktop platform or in a browser. The web version's storage behaviour and large-file loading caveats matter to anyone using it for browser-based sessions.

Weave may suit Linux x86-64 users interested in its listed Windows app workflows and experimental scope. It is not a general-purpose replacement for a Windows virtual machine or Wine.
