Google pays for better Photoshop compatiblity on Linux/Wine

CNet reported yesterday that Google is funding the guys at CodeWeavers to increase compatibility of Adobe’s Photoshop under their Linux based Wine application. Photoshop CS2 is currently on Wines gold list (applications that run flawlessly with some special configuration), it is suggested that time will now be spent to get Photoshop on the platinum list meaning it will run out the box after installation on Wine.

Being able to run Photoshop on Linux is attractive as current Linux based Photoshop applications are “just not Photoshop” to many designers.
