    You are running out of arguments Johnny boy!
  • armo, on 01/26/2008, -3/+89What's new in this release:
    - Photoshop CS/CS2 should now work, please help us testing it.
    See http://wiki.winehq.org/AdobePhotoshop for details.

    Fantastic stuff. This project just keeps getting better and better. Apparently you can even get Office 2007 working with some effort

    Time to put my hands in my pockets and donate again, I hope some others will join me.
  • xdvx, on 01/26/2008, -3/+79Great! But wine sucks at one thing very much. I had 3 windows viruses downloaded to my linux system, but I couldn't run any of them with wine

    :D
  • armo, on 01/26/2008, -0/+30My boss for one will let me use any tool that gets the job done. He most certainly doesn't mind the fact that it's free.
  • bj1989, on 01/26/2008, -0/+30Photoshop CS2 is actually on the list of 1.0 requirements.
  • thtroyer, on 01/26/2008, -8/+38w00t.

    I'm such a dork... getting excited over FOSS releases. I'm not alone in this, am I? Guys?
  • skywake, on 01/26/2008, -0/+29Just take out a stick of RAM and post your IP all over the internets. At least then you can pretend that your computer has a virus :P
  • kaytrio, on 01/26/2008, -1/+29That's awesome. Congrats on getting such a HUGE application working!
  • schestowitz, on 01/26/2008, -4/+31http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px ...
    Photoshop CS2 by default? Not too shabby! That will kill another platform migration barrier.
  • ssam, on 01/26/2008, -0/+2494 bugs until 1.0

    (up 1 since the 0.9.53 release)
  • mccord, on 01/26/2008, -5/+26do we need to hear this question in every digg story about a new wine release? :P
  • KhaaL, on 01/26/2008, -0/+19Definitely. I donate regularly to open-source projects. So far Blender has got all my monetary attention but wine is next, right before Compiz-fusion
  • paretoj, on 01/26/2008, -0/+19Even if Linux achieved 100% market share on the desktop, Wine would still be a useful project. There's a lot of older softaware written for Windows that many people would want to use, just like how a lot of people play older console games like Nintendo and Super Nintendo. In fact, Wine would be better than emulation since it's a reimplementation of Windows on Linux, not an emulator.
  • inkswamp, on 01/26/2008, -3/+20I don't want to get into a platform war because I think Linux, Windows and Mac OS X all have their place in the world, but the only people implying that people should switch to Linux because you can run Photoshop under Wine, aren't using it professionally. There's no reason to shoehorn one platform's strength into another platform just because. The design world standardized on Macs, for better or worse, and as a result, all the publishing systems, utilities, plug-ins and software tends to be Mac-first or in some cases Mac-only. If you work in design or publishing, you see it. (Just last year, I oversaw the installation and set up of two advertising-related production systems for publishing work that were Mac-only.) If you think I'm making that up, just pick up an industry magazine and look at what the top design and print houses are using. Whether they can run Photoshop on Linux is not an issue. It's all the other stuff out there.
  • segiterrus, on 01/26/2008, -1/+17Yes! Time to get drunk!
  • AceofSpades19, on 01/26/2008, -0/+16can you explain how it is an emulator, when the devs clearly say its not
  • inactive, on 01/26/2008, -1/+17*points gloved finger* I find your lack of faith disturbing.
  • niallabrown, on 01/26/2008, -2/+18I just did a project with Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus. My client was very impressed by the final product.
  • 1longtime, on 01/26/2008, -7/+22I think Wine is a dead end. Why not just make apps that work in Linux? I'm talking to you, software companies of the world.
  • StanStutter, on 01/26/2008, -7/+19I'm going to take a "wait and see" approach. Wine users tend to use an alternative definition to the word "works". I've been burned by it before.
  • skywake, on 01/26/2008, -2/+13Wine is not an emulator....
  • atdigg, on 01/26/2008, -3/+13Now will hear less of "but doesn't run Photoshop" tired argument when discussion about Linux viability as desktop (I think it's a specious argument anyway because not THAT many people use Photoshop)
  • inactive, on 01/26/2008, -2/+12I seen an article on here someplace with a guy who on purpose infected his wine install with windows email virus attachment nasties.He got them running under wine and it screwed it all up. It was quite funny, and proves it can be done anyhow,
  • inactive, on 01/26/2008, -3/+13shadowblade989, why digg the article and then complain about it? deep down inside you have a heart it seems.
    Fail troll is fail.
  • srg13, on 01/26/2008, -0/+9Add the Wine repo - instructions here http://winehq.org/site/download-deb
  • Emperial, on 01/26/2008, -0/+9Wine always gets my vote :D Great project...
  • trogdoor, on 01/26/2008, -0/+9He meant that the vast majority of Desktop users do not use or need Photoshop.
  • sirhomer, on 01/26/2008, -2/+11No. One of the many reasons I look forward to Fridays.
  • Gatesgamer33, on 01/26/2008, -0/+9Do you want to do something productive with your life or just be an A-hole? *looks up at previous comment* Nevermind, you just answered my question.
  • srg13, on 01/26/2008, -0/+8Wine is a solution to the chicken and egg problem that is hindering Linux adoption - people aren't going to switch if they can't run the apps they are used to, but developers won't port their software because they don't think there are enough Linux users. Wine offers a temporary solution
  • hadak, on 01/26/2008, -2/+10It's an API layer...not an emulator.
  • srg13, on 01/26/2008, -1/+9What are you waiting for? Photoshop CS2 works flawlessly for me - it has for a few months now, but there was an activation issue that was just fixed.
  • FKnight, on 01/26/2008, -3/+11Buried for bringing facts based on educated and professional experience to Digg.

    You know the routine. Fall in line buddy.

  • Nin10dude, on 01/26/2008, -0/+8NO YOU!
  • Smegzor, on 01/26/2008, -1/+8Your capslock appears to be stuck. I suggest you try freeing it with Linux ;)
  • trogdoor, on 01/26/2008, -0/+7Wine works in OS X too...
  • srg13, on 01/26/2008, -0/+7Yeah - that's how I did it - the keygen generated both the key, and then I used "Phone Activation' in Photoshop and it gave me a code which, when pasted into the keygen app will give you an activation code.

    But, I only did that because I can't install CS3 (Of which I actually own a licence)
  • djbon2112, on 01/26/2008, -4/+11Oh please. Seriously, how many people ACTUALLY use Photoshop regularly enough to prevent them from abandoning Windows? Barely anyone. It's just a convenient excuse for the lazy. I gave up the excuses, moved, and I've never been happier.
  • rastakid, on 01/26/2008, -0/+7Don't feed the trolls :S
  • inactive, on 01/26/2008, -0/+7I like giving to open source also. Problem is, with so many worthy causes nowdays i could find myself broke!!
  • inactive, on 01/26/2008, -0/+7CS3 is a no go still. CS2 for now mate. I've tried and failed a few times with CS3 now.

  • jpkeisala, on 01/26/2008, -0/+7I joined! Just donated $20
  • inactive, on 01/26/2008, -2/+8ddorent, here is a lesson you moron; emulation of the whole OS is an emulator. Bits of it is not.
    Get back to whatever blog you crawled out of.
  • inactive, on 01/26/2008, -1/+7As a photoshop user i was a bit confused by GIMP but slowly i have started to work it out.
    For free software you can't complain anyway. Inkscape look's pretty good as well, i seen some really nice icons and stuff made with that. I have so much to learn *sigh*
  • kazamx, on 01/26/2008, -1/+7I have a pay pall account set up. I auto transfer £100 ($200) into it every month. Then whenever I feel the urge I donate to whatever caught my attention. Some months I don't donate anything, others I donate more, but every month £100 goes in, so on average its £100 a month.

    Its not just open source though. I have also donated to Podcasts I like and online radio. Anything/anyone who does something for free could get a hit from the kaz online giving fund :-p
  • djbon2112, on 01/26/2008, -1/+7It's an "emulator" when it's emulating a different processor architecture and instruction set.
  • inactive, on 01/26/2008, -0/+5But I can't run CS3.....(just kidding, I can't afford CS3....)
  • GMorgan, on 01/26/2008, -0/+5Most people don't use Photoshop in any case. Very few in fact do.

    Most people I know use MS Paint.
