I obviously can't comment on stuff being developed by others
but I can comment on VRPC for Mac.

It has been delayed for a number of reasons. The main one being
time. Both Graeme and I have been busy on other projects. Further
delays have been caused because I haven't been very well.

The current test version is far more advanced than anything that's
been seen in public. However I am not going to announce a
release date until we are happy with it and it's gone through the
QA test cycle. Currently there are still some things that need
to be fixed/implimented.

We want to release the product. We've spent a lot of time and
money on it ans when it's completed to our satisfaction it
will be released.
