MW quit shipping only last year on OS X
I think Apple shipping XCode for free pushed them hardest
Much as it might be nice to attribute their death to RB I seriously
doubt REAL is the killer
As I recall, they left the Mac market because they had sold their
x86 compilers to Nokia just before Apple announced the Intel shift.
I'm sure free Xcode took its toll, but it didn't break their backs.
They continued to ship for quite a while despite Xcode. Being under
an agreement to not produce x86 compilers and having Apple go x86
was, however, a product breaker.
That move pretty much meant they were no longer in the Mac OR Windows
markets
They just focused totally on embedded stuff which makes sense since
FreeScale does more work there than in desktop PC processors
