As I mentioned in my post, they have it for Linux but through WINE, so it's basically the Windows version running through WINE, which means it's not native. The other thing is that they would have to port it over to run natively on OS X, and no one is goign to want to run a Mac application under X11 (check ouit OpenOffice for the Mac and you'll see what I mean). They want it to look and function like all their other Mac apps: seemlessly and simply, as a Mac app should be.
