Exotic Matter announced the release of Naiad, its fluid dynamics software. Features include: simulation of liquids (large and small bodies of water, breaking waves, splashes and foam, etc.), gases (fire, smoke and explosions), and full two-way coupling of rigid-bodies to fluids. Naiad currently runs on 64-bit Linux systems (Fedora 8 and later, and most recent Linux distributions). Mac OS X support is coming in the near future, with a possible Windows port in 2011. The software is available for evaluation and commercial licensing. Sample videos and more information at ExoticMatter.com.

Agreed. This is strange marketing. You willing to give up 90% of sales? It is like Blizzard not doing Diablo 3 for XBOX. In Russia there is a saying for this type of behavior: will freeze my ears to hurt my grandma.
The market it’s currently targeted at is linux dominated.
