But even though Wine says it is not an emulator, you still think it
is? Then I have to ask what you think of applications that is written
in Java, Python, Mono etc... They to require a run-time enviroment.

Even if you don't want to use Picasa, I think the fact that Google
invested the time and money into making Picasa run on linux shows that
the linux desktop is finally gaining some attention from the "big
players". I don't see why that is a bad thing? Sure, they "should"
have created a "real" linux port, preferably for both GTK and QT to
please everyone, but come on, its their money, they choose how to
spend them.
