[TriLUG] Disappointed in Google.

[Reginald Reed]

I fully understand your feeling on Google going with WINE.  People seem to
forget is that despite the whole "do no evil" thing,  Google is a publicly
traded company.  Doing the development as native application for Linux would
either be more expensive or be waaay off in feature parity with the Windows
implementation.  Its not *all* about the almighty dollar, but it does factor
high!
