After far too long a wait, today, Google released the first beta of Picasa for Mac. Picasa is a free, powerful photo management tool that includes many photo editing operations that the Mac native iPhoto lacks. In addition, Picasa is tightly bound to Picasa Web Albums, the first 1GB of which is also free, in contrast with Apple's MobileMe, which runs $99/year.

...or is Google deliberately giving both Windows and Mac users fully-native versions of Picasa, while giving Linux users mere Wine "improvements" to get the Windows version running in Linux? All of the sudden, Google's "support" of Linux by helping to port their Windows version over to Wine seems like something to just shut Linux users up.
