You'd have to talk to the folks at MainSoft regarding OSX support before
softimage.
http://www.mainsoft.com/
Thats what enables the linux port. If MainSoft doesn't support OSX,
then Softimage would have to completely re-port XSI over and find all
new ways to plug up the windows tech dependencies such as COM.

If this happened it may cut down the effort required in a port
(perhaps even allow the linux version to work sans porting?)
Cheers,
Alan.

Subject: XSI Petition
OK, at the risk of starting some inane platform discussion I am going to
post this to try and get things moving.
I have started an online petition to see what kind of interest there is in
an OSX port of XSI.
If you don't want it or don't care, please don't bother, I have already
spoken to people at Apple and there is interest in helping things along but
as always it needs Soft to get the ball rolling.
I know there are people here who don't like the Mac, that's fine. I happen
to like XSI a lot as well as Maya and I want to have a choice of what
high-end CG apps I use on my platform of choice. I also see the Mac as an
as-yet untapped (by Softimage) market for XSI. The Mac user base is big
enough that it could provide a pretty rapid infusion of users for XSI.
So if you want to add your voice to the petition please go to:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.petitiononline.com/xsi2646
/petition.html">http://www.petitiononline.com/xsi2646/petition.html</a>
I will have a more complete site set up soon at <a class="moz-txt-link
-abbreviated" href="http://www.xsionosx.com">www.xsionosx.com</a>
Thanks
