For an embedded browser, requiring OS X seems pretty reasonable. 
Consider that Safari doesn't run under OS 9, Internet Explorer is 
discontinued, and Mozilla isn't a great option there either- and I've 
never even seen an embedded browser control anywhere on OS 9 (although 
it may exist). I'm guessing Chris would spend at least 3 times the 
effort supporting OS 9 than any of Windows, OS X or Linux...

Of course that's easy for me to say, since I haven't run OS 9 in a 
couple of years...
