I highly doubt that, all of the mactopia software is coded in Visual Studio.. which as I said above isn't ported to MacOS yet. Doubt you'll see a MacOS version, but look forward to seeing a PPC compatible version.
Quote: "I believe that if TGC made a GL version of DBP, just change the libraries to use GL, that there would be a jump in buyers. GL is just such a better alternitive to DirectX, it's probably not quite as powerful quite yet, but it runs on any computer."
a) Not a snowballs chance in hell. Lee doesn't like OpenGL, not even slightly. He's gone on record quite a few time saying that there will never be an OpenGL variant of the DBP Engine.
If there is ever a version it won't be coded by the current team.
b) just makes no business sense. over 90% of the market uses Microsoft Windows and DirectX.. put simply, why would you want to pander to a minority when your already supporting a nitché market as is?

Well now you've said your mate has it on his machine my god I must believe the rumours are true!... only just a small fact people seem to quickly forget.
Apple have made a deal with Intel. Now for those who don't understand Intel's philosophy and business tactics against AMD the past decade, I'd suggest you visit AMD.com
As far as Mac OSX86 goes, I'll wager that it won't in-fact run on x86 processors at all; but actually ONLY run on IA32 processors. While you can claim your mate has MacOSX running on his computer, blah blah blah... I have a skin for KDE 3.4 as well as using PearPC can 'almost' perfectly emulate the Apple MacOSX experience. And with less effort than it takes to emulate Windows oddly enough.
So as I said, until I see this so-called leak version running and use it myself. I'm sticking with the whole "it's bullcrap" theory.
I don't believe for one second that Intel would sign a deal with Apple that would allow AMD any access to the x86 variant of MacOSX. It's bound to require things like SSE2, Hyper-Threading, and EMT64 by default or something. It's how Intel work, it's how they've always worked. Rather than Microsoft who buy up competition, Intel just blackmale and 'make deals' to make sure that AMD and other manufacturers aren't allowed access.
This is one of the major factors over the falling out between IBM and Intel, when Intel forced IBM's Cyrix range from the business market.
