I'm not sure what the ratio is here. Macs are more common in some departments than others and quite a few folks have both a Mac and a PC. I started out with Macs at home and worked in a company that used Mac desktops and Unix servers. I didn't get my first Windows laptop until '97 (a choice forced on me by my work environment) and I've had two Windows laptops since, while retaining Macs at home (which always ran Unix as well as Mac OS - Tenon Intersystems' "Mach Ten" - long before OS X was even considered). My third Windows laptop died a few months back after two years - they've all lasted only about two years, compared to a couple of my Macs which are still rock solid after ten years! Why does Windows 'rot' and need completely rebuilding every few years? I can thank Dick Applebaum for enabling my switch back to Mac - I needed CFMX on Mac in order to switch. There's a couple of other developers on my team who are now switching to Macs because they *can*... Yes, it's unsupported. No, there won't be a port - so long as there is no business case. Mostly we've heard from developers who want the free developer edition. Go on, port it yourself (via Dick's method or via the much less painful method of using an actual Intel Linux box). Use it and enjoy it.
