[News] The "No Photoshop" Excuse Against Linux is Dead

Flash CS3 and Photoshop CS3 running in Wine

,----[ Quote ]
| It looks as if Wine might be supporting Adobe's Flash CS3 as well as 
| Photoshop CS3 on Linux in the near future. With the recent help from Google 
| to get Photoshop CS and CS2 working properly in Wine a huge chunk of the 
| underlying architecture work was put in place for CS3 application support. 
| There are still a number of bugs that need to be triangled and fixed before 
| CS3 is properly supported but this is great news none the less.

RIP another piece of FUD ("but it doesn't run Photoshop...").

Wine status report: Photoshop CS3

| Wine is one of the fastest developed open source applications. A new Wine 
| version is released every two weeks. Not only can you run World of Warcraft, 
| but new and heavy games like Call of Duty 4 are also supported. One 
| application that users have been wanting to run on Linux for several years is 
| Adobe Photoshop. We’ve been doomed to use version 8 until recently. Google is 
| helping out with the development to have Photoshop CS3 supported. As for now, 
| Photoshop CS2 runs without any problems.

| 2.0 up to Windows XP. WINE has the ability to run different versions
| of IE, run most of Adobe's products, run World of Warcraft, Half Life
| 2, Microsoft Office 2003, XP, 2000 and 97, Visio, Quicken,
| 
|     * Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
|     * Need for Speed Carbon

| Want to upgrade you XP to Vista? no chance. might as well do a fresh 
| install and shell out $300.
