And as such, you are still running it in a Windows environment (Not any of the Operating System available for Selection in the Poll).

Just so happens your Window OS lives on top of another OS and is provided virtually, but its still a Windows Environment.

There are DS clones, that will run *natively* on other operating systems. They have been reverse engineered by FRC members and provided as-is. Most recently a iPhone app was released. But these can never be used during a competition because it is not guaranteed to work. There are safety features built-in to the NI provided one. It is not clear what the original question was asking.

I would love to run the DS natively on Mac Beleve me, it just isn't support.

Running a virtual windows environment via virtualbox, or wine, does not mean you are running it on a different OS. It just means you are clever enough to know that you can emulate a windows environment on top of the native operating system.

I guess the original question would have been more clear if it was asked "Do you run the DS on Windows Natively or do you run it in a Virtual Machine for Competition and What Do you use when not in competition."

Then you would get responses like "We run Parallels on a Mac, with Window 8, or use Boot Camp, or we use Virtual Box etc." All of which are trying to provide a windows-like execution environment.
