Parasolid on Mac OSX!!!

"Already"? Most of the good systems (not counting ComputerVision) started out there and were later ported. Most (including ComputerVision) still run on Unix quite well .

Missing the subject matter?

There is absolutely no way to claim that this will remain the case. Nor, unless you then *save* the file, will it be "updated".

You ever try to open a file from a later version in an earlier version?

And now software designers for Wintel know they are going to face a major reprogramming effort with the 2006-2007 LongHorn/LongWait is released (now with fewer new features if the news of last week is any bit true).

So Microsoft is taking about a dozen years between the release of Windows 95 before it gets "semi-modern" in the OS.

If I was a designer, I would probably be cringing and wondering about the desirability of having a Unix version of the software ready. Linux, UNIX & BSD UNIX/MacOSX is not going to stand still, but I predict they are much more "predictable", than the LongWait from MS.
