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.
