As much as it pains me to respond the way I'm doing now, I'm kind of glad there won't be a Linux version of Studio any time soon. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Porting Studio to Linux would cost MM time and money, which they probably don't have. There's no way in hell they'd be able to recoup their development costs - there simply aren't enough people using Linux as their desktop. I know that you'd be all over it yourself, but I don't think the development costs would be covered by your use - especially since you'd get it for free, working for MM and all. So, MM would have to spread those costs across Studio purchases in general, I think. Second, I suspect that Studio will be changing dramatically in the next release, and if this is true, I'll be happy for a stable Windows version.
