Why is Google Hiring Code Weavers?

In a recent statement by the Google corporation they have employed a Code Weaver team to make some different Photoshop improvements that were specific for Wine in order to make Photoshop CS and CS2 perform on Linux desktops. All in all, this could sound a bit strange for Google to have done this, and yet this particular action has indeed had the desired effect of opening the said Wine program for better use with the Linux based programs.

The Wine program is basically a type of Windows compatibility layer that makes running windows programs on Linux and while this is not perfect with the Code Weaver team it has gotten much better. Those who have tested this since the Code Weaver team did their magic have nothing but praise and have even gone as far as to say they would be completely using Linux if it was not for the work this team had done to Photoshop CS and CS 2 software. Most of the comments from Linux users have been similar, the ease of using this program now has Linux users quite thrilled indeed.

Along with this team that had worked on the Photoshop CS and CS2 programs to secure the way they are able to run with Wine and Linux, they have also employed a large and highly skilled team of interns to work on fixing the other many patches that happen to number in the hundreds. it will be nice to see that particular project come to a successful fruition.More detail regarding this may be found at The Tech Blog

All in all, this may in fact turn out to be one of Google’s best projects since google analytics, which of course is used to generate either monthly or daily web traffic reports so that they are able to monitor their websites progress by tracking the sites search engine ranking, monitor the traffic to your as well as the back link counts used with Google and other top search engines. This is often used to aeither replace or act as a supplement to traditional counter or hosting based site statistics such as webalizer and analog traffic statistics that usually accompany the hosting Admin page.
