Actually, no one at Microsoft is writing decompression software for the
Mac.
Chris is ahead of no one, there is no competition, judging by what I've
read here recently.
He is not investing anything in a Mac version, the Mac market isn't worth
his time.
Instead, he is accepting Apple's charity, which puts him at their mercy,
on their time schedule, and at their whim.
Which is as it should be, given that it IS charity...
He then uses the fact that Apple is in control as an excuse, and
continues on his way.
This all presupposes, of course, that you choose to believe what he says
now, in spite of his past record at truth, or that you care about his
problems.
