I strongly disagree!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eduard and I are doing the Mac version, and it is not the case that all use Windows. I
WILL NEVER (yes, never, I would stop computing at all!!!!!) use Windows as development
platform.
And so you simply got the wrong image, why do you think there is this BIG note about
the source code and the Linux version etc.? 
We are working hard on the Mac side and you get the impression only Windows is
supported?

Hmm, looks the Mac side needs better public relations :-)


Just my own opinion!
