Pei,

We're going to put up a dedicated visualization server later this fall that
will serve up volume visualizations of various biomedical datasets. At that
time we'll also release our modified X Mosaic clients for Sun and SGI. We
may be able to release a Windows version of the client then too, but we
don't have any immediate plans to make a Mac version.
