The version 0.9 todo list (bug 85) specifies the need for a rewritten intro to the Wine User Guide.
This patch is that rewritten intro. It rewords things to make Wine easier to understand for the new user, gives it a more professional look, and removes some outdated information.
Cool. Can you please also reformat the long lines in the spirit of the original format? It makes it much more pleasant to work with...

Howso? Putting in arbitrary carriage returns and 8 manual white-spaces makes it significantly harder to edit the text a second time through. When editing documentation like this I suggest taking an approach similar to editing HTML or XML files - use word wrap.

Long lines make diffs useless. If you change even a single character the diff will only show that the whole paragraph (possibly 20 'lines' or more) changed. This prevents other Wine contributors from further reviewing changes which is very bad.
