Wine status report: Photoshop CS3
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
