The goal is to release Windows software without ever booting into the OS?

Well in my case it was to avoid installing Visual Studio on the limited space on my SSD, but yes, you could also do this too. Advantages being you could reuse your *nix-based build infrastructure or if you needed a C99 compiler (or just GCC).

I guess by using WINE you could even use the Windows software without booting into the OS. :p
