Thank you to all who replied to my "Stereo 3D matters to me" email response plea!
With over 600 direct responses from almost 300 organizations, Apple now has convincing documentation that Stereo 3D is a "make or break" issue for the Mac in pro-3D visualization -- a market that spans a surprising number of industries, from medicine to energy, and manufacturing to military. Although Apple staff have consistently provided me with assurances that professional-grade stereo 3D will eventually be supported under Mac OS X, the key question remains unanswered: Will it be soon? i.e. before the industry standardizes on Linux & Windows visualization systems? Or will it be too late? It is clear that the timeframe for Mac implementation of Stereo 3D (in a window) will depend on how anticipated sales are affected by the presence or absense of this professional 3D graphics capability.
