It's not native Linux support though AFAIK. They are supported through wine.

Google earth is a native application based on Qt. And as usual, its non-free.

And it's still in beta. No stable version available as of now. I am downloading it, hope it works fine.

so if Microsoft were to release and support MS Office for linux, would you use it? It would still not be open source.

frankly not everybody likes it but its true ... msoffice is an interesting nice application for wordprocessing and spreadsheets etc .... oo2 that i use rocks but still has a way to go ...
if ms were to release ms office for linux and not charge me . i wud use it. there is nothing much that i could possibly do with code of ggl earth / msoffice or any application that i m only interested in using,
anything wrong with this school of though ?

Wait till it eats up your 30 page report. It's reall interesting how 30 pages can disappear wiyhout a trace.

Plenty. You never know when u will require the source of the most unlikely piece of software. Recently we had to muck around kview to display pcx files with weird extensions. The client was screwed cause the original writer of the ten yr old app had vanished. We could ofcourse engage in the pointless excercise of rewriting code for a long forgotten file format while the client suffered. Moral of the story: closed source is BAD for u as a user or as a programmer.

I havent used it. But discussions on this thread seem to suggest it is native. I think you probably had picasa in mind, when referring to wine.

No. It's a native port and uses Qt + OpenGL. It's been ported by Ryan C. Gordon of icculus (http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus) who is very well known for his native Linux ports. Regards, BG

If non-free-source status of google earth bothers you, have a look at http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ from nasa. Wonderful opensource multi-platform app.
Ironically the free-source app gets its data from a TerraServerUSA of Microsoft. :)

doesnt look multiplatform going by this faq http://www.worldwindcentral.com/wiki/World_Wind_FAQ

One would think so until you come across this link - http://ww2d.csoft.net/index.php?title=Version_0.99.88 ... which though not from nasa is one possible port of the official world wind client. (fun of opensource)
So apologies for posting the wrong link initially.

Oh,
Can I run it from my amd64 machine? And where is the Source? The big question! I asked this to Google Both at foss.in/2005 and they were also confused with it..

Therefore by implication commecial software cannot be open. Doubly wrong. Free / Libre software can beCommercial. Closed software can be non commercial (freeware).

Terminology confusion for me :) But all I can understand is they want to sell it, they want to secure their profits and thus they are hiding that code, thuogh its not required. BTW there can not be any support from opensource community for google's this stand.

"Free" was a bad choice for Libre software. "Opensource" was created to pander up to commercial interests who then cleverly used theterm to confuse and mislead. Further compounded by the likes of RH, Trolltech, and a host of other IT service companies using Libre software. Which made the GPL3 neccessary. But that is another story.

You are absolutely right.

In my school, one day the boys got together to shout "bhago bhago" just when the class was about to get over. It became a very serious matter involving the principal too. He threatened the entire class with punishment unless the guilty persons owned up. One of our classmates admitted that he only said "bha", he did not say "go" as the teacher had turned around by then. This amused everyone and we were let of with a small punishment. :)
