Too much development cost, not enough return on investment. Linux users hate to pay for anything. > 3. Mac OS is based on some king of Linux/Unix under layer.

OS X is built around a Mach kernel and includes a FreeBSD UNIX command-line environment. Linux is built around a different kernel implementation, UNIX-like, and similarly includes a FreeBSD-like command-line environment. There the similarity ends. It's all the other stuff built on top of the kernel that would need to be supported to run OS X applications... Never mind having to fight legal battles with Apple. > PS: I'm pretty sure there's a Lightroom clone for Linux - can't remember > the name of it off the top of my head right now - that works a bit > better than Gimp does as a Photoshop clone. Darktable : http://www.darktable.org I have the OS X version installed. It has nowhere near the sophistication of Lightroom. It just superficially looks similar.
