What's the cost to CL? They have already put the OSX on the back-burner and have already lost the excitemnt of the new version release forever. Impulse buyers (like me) will see the MAC version released when the "bugs" will be the dominant post of the day (hope not). As for taking advantage of the graphics cards, I saw where Nvidia and ATI are willing to work with software developers to help them code to take advantage of the cards capabilities. That's in their best interest. Perhaps CL IS working on this and that's why the MAC version will be released later. With the introduction of QuartzExtreme (in Jagwire), rumors of up-comming HyperTransport/RapidIO and interconnect technologies and with the purchase of Raycer,RAYZ, Shake (and others) Apple will be making a push into the 3D/Hollywood studio market "soon". They aleady have the 2D area locked-up with the ProTools line and Steve loves Hollywood. CL would be smart to take advantage of Apples lead. Everybody else does!
