Google, GoogleEarth Why hasn't anyone asked Google why they don't distribute a Linux version of GoogleEarth and others of their applications? Since Google likes to be known as the top OpenSource sponsor this should have happened a long time ago? So Google might have some very good answers. FWIW, Google Talk works fine with Open Source clients, AND Google hired Gaim lead developer to work on that to provide the remaining features of the Google Talk client in Gaim. At least that is the rumor spread by the developer. That makes at least one application.

I'm trying to do that with small ISVs who want to sell their Windows apps unchanged on Linux using Wine.

Re: [Desktop_architects] Most wanted Application: Email
It isn't the client side. It is the server side. 1) Good sync with handheld devices. Phone, Blackbeary (sp?) and Plam or pocket PC This is client side. Let's give some love to OpenSync. The idea is fundamentally good. Shall we integrate PDA-like device syncronization into the desktop architecture ? I think so. Apple's idea with iSync is far from being stupid. And the current situation, even on Windows is far from ideal. Hub ___ Desktop_architects mailing list Desktop_architects@lists.osdl.org https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop_architects
