Google Windows Apps Coming To Linux

skaet writes "DesktopLinux.com reports that Google is working together with CodeWeavers to bring their photo editing and sharing program Picasa, formerly only available on Windows, over to Linux. From the article: 'The program is now in a limited beta test. If this program is successful, other Google applications will be following it to the Linux desktop, sources say. The Linux Picasa implementation includes the full feature set of the Windows Picasa 2.x software. It is not, strictly speaking, a port of Picasa to Linux. Instead, Linux Picasa combines Windows Picasa code and Wine technology to run Windows Picasa on Linux. This, however, will be transparent to Linux users, when they download, install, and run the free program on their systems.'"

What happened to the do no evil thing?

They promised to do no evil and now they bring Google to Linux?

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm disturbed by the things I see google doing.
I don't like they power they wield and their "We are good guys, we just want to be your buddy and help you" olive branch.

All this nonsense about storing your stuff on their servers, their China moves, and so many other things they do. Google is a nest of parasites looking to suck as much money from the planet and take as much power as people are willing to hand over to them.

They are the next Evil Empire after M$. At sometime in the future M$ will buy out Google and everyone on earth will be screwed.

Be Well John Spartan..
