Google Funds Work for Photoshop on Linux
S point 2 writes "Google has announced that they have hired Codeweavers, maker of the popular Wine software to make Photoshop run better on Linux. 'Photoshop is one of those applications that desktop Linux users are constantly clamoring for, and we're happy to say they work pretty well now...We look forward to further improvements in this area.' It is unknown whether or not the entire Creative Suite will be funded for support, but for the time being it seems Photoshop-on-Linux development is getting a new priority under Google."
Why, the GIMP Toolkit, of course... or would that just be too confusing?
Finally, linux users can join in on the piracy of adobe products that the Mac and Windows people have been able to do. See, linux IS getting more like the other OS's every day! :^)
My life will be complete the day that WINE embraces, extends, and extinguishes the Windows API... ahhh, one can dream!
Yes. It makes the sound of a chair being thrown through a window.
!#@%*)anks for hanging up the phone, dear.
Which is why many developers will steer clear of it... you pretty much can't make OTS software with that view.
Allow me to introduce you to the Paragraph and the Full Stop.
That is all. Carry on.
I predict if they get Photoshop running properly on Linux, Linux users will abandon the OS in favor of something even more obscure and difficult to use. Then they'll tote that operating system as superior to Windows and piss about how nobody adopts it.
I have nothing compelling to say
"Sooner or later he's going to realize he's just Bill's bitch on his own." Yep. Any decade now they'll wise up. It's just a matter of time.
That's nothing. Try keeping a straight face as you tell your boss that you use ACID with snort.
"Notepad" is not a part of the "operating system" just because it came on your XP disc.
Rule of thumb: If it runs in userland and not in kernel space, it's not part of the operating system.
Wouldn't surprise me if Notepad did run in kernel space.
