At this point, is it like a hobby project? Does anybody use this professionally?

People said the same thing about Linux for a long time, too.

i don’t think so. it’sa cool project i don’t know how many developers they have but they seem to be making slow and steady progress. was it originally supposed to ‘recreate’/binary compatible win2k? are we about 25 years down the line here ?
in most cases people are likely to run wine if they need that compatibility so i think this is kinds like haiku and beos and other similar endeavors.
i wonder how much ai is helping with the effort.
