OSX is based on Linux, so porting it over probably isn't a big deal.

Subject: [Avid-L2] OT: Linux vs OSX vs Windows...
As a young chap, I'm still exploring options career-wise. I love my job
as a post supervisor in our mostly Avid shop but I'm getting quite
interested in colour correction and colour finishing, Nucoda Film
Master, Filmlight Baselight, this kind of thing.
One thing I always notice about these and other high-end products is
that they tend to favour Linux and Mac OS's (OSi?!) over Windows. Can
anyone point me in a direction as to why this is?
I realise that Davinci have just anounced support for Windows but it
seems Linux tends to get first dibs followed by Mac and Windows seems
like a bit of an afterthought? I could be wrong but it just seems this
way.
Googling tends to bring up a bunch of "you don't get viruses on linux"
type answers but I'm talking about the fundamental reasons why you would
code a program to operate on linux or OSX instead of Windows?
People say stability is an issue but honestly our Macs beachball as much
as our Windows machines hang. Bit of a random question but it bugs me
that I've never really found a good answer to what must be a pretty
stupid question. Any prods in the right direction appreciated!
