sound applications

[Neil Cadsawan]

Whoops, I accidentally sent this to the x4u list instead of this one.  
So, sorry for the cross posting.

I don't know much about sound and music applications on the Mac, but 
one of the arguments from this thread is that musicians would be left 
behind if Apple moves to an OSX only boot up for its computers.  My 
question is, why aren't these companies porting their software over to 
OSX?  Is it because OSX isn't robust enough for them? Is it because 
they don't want to? I'm genuinely interested in what's holding back 
these companies from offering OSX compatible software.  And even other 
software vendors for applications other than sound/music.  Even though 
we all know Quark hasn't yet released an OSX version yet, they're going 
to. Why aren't/haven't others?
