Google Earth for Linux

Computerworld: “A number of people are now working on a Linux port of Google Earth, but Rasmussen did not offer a release date.”

How about a Mac port instead?

    What’s wrong with both? When there’s a functional, Free GNU/Linux port a MacOS port from that codebase will be trivial. Or do you really want a Mac version created to the exclusion of GNU/Linux users?

    As a Linux user I’m obviously biased, but I am disappointed that there is no Google Earth for Linux at the moment… It may or may not be fair but whatever happened to “Don’t be evil” ? And but doesn’t Google use Linux itself on a fairly large scale ? Why not support the operating system that supports you ? Hmm ?

    How about a MO5 port instead of all your high-end stuff?

    there is a product similar google earth for gnu/linux platform: http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/index.html
    its considered not as good as google earth (resolution is less they say) but because of its open-source nature, it may be developed at a faster rate than others in the same category. many people have already written some plugins for it.
