Of course there is pirated software for Mac! You only need to ask - but of course it'll cost extra. As I recall when my friend needed CodeWarrior for Mac he was forced to pay $5 per CD (4 CD in total) instead of usual $2 and wait for two days but it was available.

Lindows^H^H^H^H^HLinspire or Xandros on the other hand is readily available for standard $2 - almost like Windows software so we can safely guess it's more widespread then Mac...
