well, it's maybe too early to pin something down in a way it might satisfy your curiosity (btw: lucidate is a beautiful word ..)
our aim is to give you a *black box* with an intuitive user interface - although regarding the CI of VSL it might be blue [;)] - and you should not see too much of the underlying operating system.
first reports say it is possible to run windows on the apple developer machines for osX86 and vice versa you can run osX86 on any modern PC (with a few tweaks ) - so in case you like, you could probably run it also on a mac. and of course you can wish to run [insert any mac-only application here] on a PC and vice versa, but you'll have to wait until it's ported to the respective platform.
considering the recent (announced) changes in the apple world it might be clever to wait a few months until a decision is made ...
