Google, the most popular search engine has decided to fund CodeWeavers, the innovator of Wine software to introduce Adobe Photoshop that would operate on the Linux computers. A Survey conducted by desktop Linux advocate Novell revealed that Photoshop is the only non-Linux application that the Linux users would like to have. This enabled Google to fund CodeWeavers to ensure that Photoshop and other Creative Suite software would run on Linux computers. Dan Kegel, a Google engineer and Wine 1.0 release manager is spearheading the project with a team of expert professionals. “I am really happy that Google has hired us. The CodeWeavers programmers have accepted the challenge to develop Adobe Photoshop to run on Linux OS, and I am happy to say that they work fine now,” explained Kegel on a blog post.
Google has confirmed that it hired the Codeweavers to make specific improvements to Wine so that Adobe Photoshop CS and CS2 work better on the Linux computers. Keeping in mind with the current trend of technology and virtual development of software, Google is ready to witness the successful launch of 'Photoshop-on-Linux' project shortly.
