This is a poll

not me personally, although if enough people prepaid something like that it might be the thing to make it happen quickly. you'd really have to want OSX software to pay that much though.

Tried to vote but it does not work. Me don't use a Mac in the studio but I have a Mac Book for live giging. So, yes I would like to see scope on Mac again but not for a special price.
Also I know few guys that uses Mac in their studios and they would love to buy a xite if it would support OSX but I guess they wouldn't pay any extra bugs for it.
Scope should be available on both platforms but I also know SCs situation.

Vote doesn't seem to work, but..Yes I would.
I bought xite a few years ago when Mac os was announced ass coming.
It has collected some dust since then..

the XITE is greater than any computer platform.

there will likely be OSX after v6, since most of v6 is cross platform already.

No. Without going into the philosophies of pricing policies, bootcamp is cheaper (or free w/ Snow Leopard) and works:

Now there's Parallel Desktop for $90 which I would assume allows you to run Scope AND Mac apps simultaneously (anyone tested this?).

Of coure Xite is greater that any platform (even still use my old cards from time to time in the studio) but I'm stuck with several mac applications for live performances.

I tried bootcamp but of course I can't use any of my mac software anymore at the same time.
Besides that XP32 with bootcamp wasn't stable for me with Xite, lots of blue screens so absolutely a no for live and professional use.
I might try parallel desktops but I really max my mac out during live performances, it must be 100% stable.
I know it's easier to use two laptops but I want to travel light..I'll be patient

Next step for me would first to go with bootcamp on a retina MBP with a Thunderbolt-to-PCIe adapter ported to Xite.
THEN I might consider an OSX version to also run a (rumored) OSX version of Samplitude.

Otherwise, IMO it would probably be 'sexy' to have an OSX version, but there are already so many options available these days, that it's really not necessary to wait for yet another OS.
