Thanks, the interesting bit was this one

   http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=99/12/23/1116248&cid=120

In short: 

Id will release updates sometime that allow cross converting
between Win32, Mac and Linux versions (fsk, no FreeBSD yet .. :)

They put it on hold, because everyone would pick up the early
available Win32 version in stores, yielding wrong statistics 
regarding to Mac and Linux sales. 

It is obviously seen as a test for the potential of the
Linux market.

Regards,
Marc
