Google is funding work to ensure the Windows version of Adobe Systems' Photoshop and other Creative Suite software can run on Linux computers. "We hired CodeWeavers to make Photoshop CS and CS2 work better under Wine," Dan Kegel, of Google's software engineering team and the Wine 1.0 release manager, said on Google's open-source blog. "Photoshop is one of those applications that desktop Linux users are constantly clamoring for, and we're happy to say they work pretty well now... We look forward to further improvements in this area."

Well it's worked in WINE for quiet some time but honestly, the newer versions are really for pros, you can do alot of great stuff in Photoshop 7 which works great in WINE.
Sometimes I do wonder why people want Photoshop in linux using WINE, it's a complicated app, it can do amazing things but mainly at the hand of a professional. If you just want to edit your photo's use GIMP and I do 99% of my artwork in Inkscape now since vectors are more the thing with Linux DE's. I dont know if This will bring more professional artist to Linux or what but I guess it's one more app you dont need Windows for if it works well in Linux.
