UG Parasolid is ported to Linux.
So with parasolid ported it would be possible for UG
to port to Linux without much pain.
However a while ago the Linux port was shelved after cutomer demand was luke warm at best.
Large customers pretty much drive the industry.
Without the push by them, CAD companies are not willing to invest in another port.
Can't say besides the Educational area that any major CAD/CAM Accounts are making plans to move Linux to the Engineering desktop... sigh...
A Microsoft position has nothing to do with it.
Just keep your fingers crossed and hope sales forces the issue.
