Have you ever run Windows software under Wine? The software one is running has the tremendously ugly gray Windows 9x look. It makes Motif look downright slick and elegant.Then there are the Windows file dialog boxes. And the "c:Windows" crap. And in the case of Picasa it creates it's own "system tray". It won't use the system tray in KDE or the notification area in GNOME.No thanks, Google. It's a great Windows app, but I'll stick with native apps like F-Spot or Gwenview.

If only it was actually a linux port and not a Wine patch.

Why is Ensnared modded down? He's completely right!

Like others have said, Google Earth is a QT app that uses OpenGL. Why can't they just open source it??? It would rock if Google Earth could run on some embedded devices. Check out the hacks that people are trying to do for Google Earth on Windows, like Goops @ <a class="user" href="http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=68799">http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=68799</a> ...

@Ensnared:You're thinking of simulation, not emulation.
