Thanks.

NB: I wrote my message in the other thread asking you for more info about
the financial aspects before I saw this.

I just spoke to CEO Mike Scally(?) who estimated the cost of fully
developing & supporting Mac OS X as $0.5M. Not peanuts. Several times he
mentioned that it used a very different code base from other versions.

What!? This worries me much more than loss of Mac support. (Not that I don't
sympathise guys, but I've got a PC and a hungry ocean model to support.)
