Enquiring Mimes: A rumor we hope is true

    Thanks for the heads up! I love Picasa and just about any Google product. One less reason to dual boot my MacBook.

    Personally I run the Windows version of Picasa on Linux with Wine, not the Linux version ;-) Everything works.

    Say what? I use WINE to run dozens of windows applications and games in Linux on a regular basis. It "actually-works" for plenty of people. The application database (appdb.winehq.org) lists thousands of applications working nearly flawlessly, and thousands more that work with some caveats.

    Cool...maybe this will involve a large contribution to the Wine project: Quartz support for native interface widgets. That will be awesome!

    Hmm, I've been using WINE technology to play the hell out of Guild Wars on my Mac for the last month. It works staggeringly well. The game plays perfectly. If it was just this one game that played so well, that alone would be an amazing achievement, but WINE can also run plenty of other apps and games with similar aplomb. No, it doesn't always work, but you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss such an impressive project.
