Is the OS X version ever going to be released? If so is there a
timescale?

If I get to the position of having to use just a laptop, the chances
of it running windows natively are about the same as it running RISC
OS natively. It will be Macbook, almost certainly. Windows in a
virtual machine if needed and RISC OS in another if available, (but
certainly not in a VM within a VM).

RISC OS has a great user interface and is very good for certain tasks,
however it is not good enough to be worth suffering windows for.
