I will echo Robert's comments. There was no ambiguity in the
statements made. Your choice for supported deployment is OSX. Period.
I'm trying to recall if the license key is platform specific. It was
at one time, but I don't think it is any more.

Jeremy,
Apple was VERY clear. From WO 5.3 forward, WO is only supported on OS X
for development AND deployment. If you want to deploy on another
platform,
you need to do so using WO 5.2.4 or earlier. This is what Apple is
supporting.
One might consider using 5.3 to create a .war file, buying a copy of
OS X
Server, then locate the WO deployment license key file, use it in your
.war deployment and then deploy on any compliant 1.4.2 or 1.5 JRE. If
you
do this, however, Apple will not support you. Doing this would seem to
be
"legal," but it is clearly not supported.
This is a problem for us because we have WO applications that run
executables on our Solaris boxes that require DCE/DFS. Since there is
no
native DCE/DFS client for OS X, we cannot run these on our
Xserves--and we
have lots of them and love them--but we still need Solaris boxes to
meet
some of our requirements.

Let's see...some good news
5.3 Dev is "free" (with 10.4 client)
5.3 Dep is "free" (with 10.4 server)
No news on 5.3 deps for non 10.4-systems (Windows,
especially)....BAD!
I hope we get a clear signal that WO is not dead for deployment
on
other platforms...especially since we just submitted a budget for
over $150k to deploy an enterprise system on Windows.....
Did I say....ack?
