Can anyone verify that XSI will/won't be ported to MacOSX?

If it does, my guess is it won't be for a couple of years.
Soft has more than enough to do to complete all the required features, port to Linux and optimize for IRIX.
Since the Mac OSX on the desktop isn't really going to be finished until next year, I don't see Soft making commitments to it until after then. Can they do it?...If they can get it to run on IRIX and Linux I see no reason why not.
Even A/W who announced they would port to OSX has shown signs of cooling off (at least for a while).
My two cents,
Urp
when is OSX actually comeing out
ive heard people say that the server version of it is out and they are useing it well if the server version is out why isnt the desktop version out they shouldnt be that much different really Windows 2000 Server and profesional were that far apart
i dont understand how the server version of OSX could be out now but the desktop version (which should have lss security features and less things to be worked out) wont be out for like another 6 months or more
Unlike W2k, OSX is a layer operating system. You have the core that's UNIX and the interface, AQUA.
The core can function without the interface. "Server" doesn't need a fancy interface.
They're delaying OSx "desktop" release because of the interface - workflow mainly.
If you believe that XSI should be ported to OSX then visit my site http://www.macosxsi.com and sign the petition, Softimage is watching the site for how many people sign up and what they say.
