Only if you run some sort of Microsoft emulator on your Lunix box. Why even waste your time with Lunix, if you have to run all the good stuff through your Microsoft emmulator? Seems rather riduculous to me. "Look, I run Lunix! Just please don't notice I run my applications through a Windows emmulator...since I really really want you to believe everything in Lunix is better".

You're having significant trouble spelling Linux.

Wine is not an emulator it is an API library..

Your statement was:

"Google Earth, either. Is is compatible with Linux? Of course not. "

So given that Fedora comes with WINE (GPL) its fair to say that your statement is wrong. I did not think you would admit it, I just like pointing it out.
