basically I would agree with you, but many people do not take a look at 
it if it is not even 1.0 these days. for normal users it is most of the 
time not that important if it is 0.9.60 or 1.0, but for a company and 
decision makers it is. Doing a 1.0 will give popularity and with his 
comes attention from people wit money, money that they might spend in 
helping wine to develop faster. I have seen this pattern a few times 
now. Wine might not be ready to do an excellent job of emulating what 
windows does, but it is usable, even in production. Good enough for a 1.0.

Ah well.. I am no wine developer ;)
