According
to DesktopLinux.com, Google is working with Windows-Linux compatability experts CodeWeavers to bring some of Google's Windows apps over to Linux. In
particular, CodeWeavers is working on making Picasa, Google's photo organizing and editing software, work on Linux with
the help of a WINE compatability layer. Google intends for the Linux version of Picasa to be as easy to install as the
Windows version. It should be released "shortly." in addition, Google is reportedly working internally on a
Linux version of Google Talk, but details are sketchy.Google to bring its Windows apps to Linux

Hello, Google Earth?
Why would they bother with Google Talk for linux when there are 10,000 other jabber clients available (even some incorporating their audio/video library)?
What's more, Google already has the foundation of Google Earth for Liinux in Google Earth Fusion (Formerly Keyhole 2 Fusion) which is a native Linux product anyway, so it's not like it'd be that much of a stretch.
