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!
