Hi,

Google and CodeWeavers Inc. are working together to bring Google's popular Windows Picasaphoto editing and sharing program to Linux. The program is now in alimited beta test. If this program is successful, other Googleapplications will be following it to the Linux desktop.
Another popular Google Windows program is also coming over to Linux: the Google Talk client.
While no further information was forthcoming on this project, it is worth noting that Google hired Sean Egan, the lead developer of the popular open-source IM client GAIM in October 2005. GAIM, itself, already supports the Jabber protocol, which Google Talk uses, and can be configured to work with Google Talk.

Hmmm...if CodeWeavers is into this, those won't be native Linux ports - just something like Corel once did with one version of Wordperfect. Not a good thing IMHO...besides there mostly exist equivalents already.

BTW, link?
