The Mac is a completely different proprietary system. Linux is a different open-source system. I don't expect a program written under any particular proprietary system to run under another proprietary system, or other open source system without modification, although snail-slow interpreted languages can be run under different OS'es.

Try running 10 year old Mac software on your Mac....
Thanks Ralph Sir....

"...control what software that can be written under it. " or run by it...

the iPad on the other hand requires Apple central to allow software to run on/under it.

What a change from "Big Brother" eh?
