- mattkrea 11y agoHave they 'dropped' support or did they just never support it? I don't see any consumer software made by Google that runs on Linux.

Even though internally they may use a lot of Linux, I guess they don't see as much as a return on outside use of Linux. There has been a lot of success of running Windows based google apps with WINE.
