Well don't hold yer breath. Those who develop for the Mac do so at their own peril, for the company is liable to turn 180 degrees and render it totally impossible to compile for the platform.

This is what has happened numerous times in the past. The catchphrase is proprietary.

When you have code that was developed in a language that requires a compiler and none is available for the new platform you are shafted untile someone releases o/s details and someone else makes a compiler.

What we should all hope is that the new version is open source compliant at least to the extent that it will compile on linux/ubuntu/debian etc. so that we can shed ourselves of the both the Windows and Mac nonsense.

At least in the Windows/Vista world there is enough of a base to have the tools and the hooks to make software, unlike the draconian approach of the Mac world where they don't want 3rd party software to invade thier wee private space.

We will all be better served once the software runs on a true open source free operating system. And on an open platform not needing years of development to release a software product.
