[News] Google Earth Coming to Linux

(He said this to me in an E-mail last year, but the interview confirms this)

| Mad Penguin: Google is involved with OpenOffice.org and Mozilla. What
| other open source project are they part of or have people working on?
| 
| Chris DiBona: Well you know we've got a bunch of kernel folks, we've
| got folks all over Apache, we are very heavily represented in Subversion,
| and we've given donations to a great variety of groups and we are members
| of a number of others. Kinda endless right now.
| 
| MP: You mentioned Google Earth is going to be ported to Linux. Is that
| going to be running with Winelib?
| 
| CD: We said that at the end of last year. No, that's a native port.
| The original version uses Qt with OpenGL. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| MP: What percentage of the desktops at Google are running Linux
| versus Windows?
| 
| CD: Probably way more than half. I don't know the exact ratios
| though. All the developers use it and most of the engineers and
| sysadmins.
