Oh yeah, someone writes a full windows API implementation in a month or so, capable of replacing an OS that generates 1 billion US dollars a month in revenue, beating over a decade of open source wine development, and sells it to SpecOpS Laboratories for 10k, that's sure going to happen. I think anybody with the means to do that would make it open source, or sell it to the highest bidder.
I agree, I thought this was some kind of joke.. 10k? 10k isn't squat.. I use to blow more than 10k a year on beer and party. But Ive been sent a couple links that show that there is interest in there offerings.

I just hope they turn out to be good members in the OSS community and give back to Wine as they have taken from it.
