Are you referring to Wine's target audience?
IMHO, the target audience is Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows and soon Mac user's.
And since MS holds a dominate position in the OS market there audience
is one if not the most important of all. As Wine is a tool to help
people migrate away for Windows as well as being a tool to keep people
from going back. So when the day comes and Wine 1.0 ships and its a
release meant for home users, mom & pop.. I would expect a fair amount
of the visitors to winehq will be Windows user wondering if there
favorite peace of software will work on one of the many alternative
operating systems.
So I disagree that Linux is the only/main intended audience.
