If I can run software on 2 machines, it's no-one's business what brand they happen to be. The example of Lightroom, with a cross platform licence, at least gives one hope for CS3.

Companies aren't constantly switching back and forth - and they'd still need a valid license for each machine. This is a simpler problem - why am I forced to run the Windows version of CS3 on my Mac using virtualization software, taking up far more RAM and CPU resources than needed for the native version, when it wouldn't hurt Adobe any to let me run the native version instead? This is my point - I already <em>have</em> the license. My assertion is that the fact that it's for a different OS should be moot. I'm not asking Adobe to do any extra work, the Mac version already exists. Just let me run it with my existing license! I don’t see what difference that makes.
