Quoting "Eric P.

The OP wants to run picasa on FreeBSD. I suggest above to use the =20 FreeBSD wine instead of the linux wine which comes with picasa. Maybe =20 we're able to run picasa with our native wine instead of the linux =20 wine which does not work on the linuxulator (and we don't intend to =20 fix the linux wine issue in our kernel, as it would not only pessimize =20 the context switching of linux programs, but also all FreeBSD =20 programs). So the only person reaching into advocacy-land is you. > I figure there's got to be a Google product manager who's getting > weekly reports showing download statistics for Windows, > Macintosh, and Linux offerings.

You are addressing this to the wrong people. flz said in the PR he is =20 doing it ASAP, so you should talk to him, not to emulation@ or =20 advocacy@. Bye, Alexander. --=20 An INK-LING?
