What if MaxOSX (or Carbon) _didn't_ work in real-life implementations or 
_didn't_ get customer approval? This has happened many times before in 
history, and the former is still true for MacOSX to some extent regarding 
the MIDI implementation - one and a half year after the first release of the 
OS.

FinWin2003 is compatible with XP just because XP is binary and API 
compatible with Win32. No extra development resources required.

It's interesting that Mac users almost always seem to blaim 3rd party 
developers for not being "compatible". Windows users usually blaim M$ 
for just about everything, although M$ has a far better history regarding 
compatibility.
