Because they don't want to commit to supporting 827 different combinations of

vendors no doubt crap themselves about that 1%...
Shame they can't get their act together and make a version for a particular
setup though, then still sell an unsupported flavour of the product for any
other combo (but there's all the negative press that people bitching about
things not working in an unsupported environment generates... sometimes users
are their own worst nightmare)
If OS X is
really Unix under the hood, then why do vendors of several
of my high-end applications that are offered in Windoze and OS X
versions all say "We have no plans for a Linux version"?
Because they want to make money?
