For those of you Mac Users who are dying to play, Just run Windows on your Mac Intel.

I also doubt that many people who do have Intel Macs also have a copy of windoze  :P

Why would anyone even think of considering to possibly use Windoze on a MAC? Would they actually buy a MAC if they wanted to run Windoze? Linux or BSD I could understand, but Windoze? Linux would AFAICS also run on PPC MACs, and allow you to compile PS there so you could play, no?

You can sort of get Linux running on the Mac (with a lot of effort), but it still is PPC, not x86, so I dunno what the results of that would be. People with Intel Macs, I have one word for you: CrossOvers (WINE to you Linuxers). It's a much better solution than dual-booting. :)

Google it. ;) It's WINE for Mac, pretty much, by CodeWeavers.

Wow that application looks amazing! It doesn't even require a copy of XP. Although I am a little suspicious of it's content since it's still a beta

*edit*

I downloaded that thing, downloaded the version of PS (.exe), ran it, and it works! Although there is a few problems, as expected. The interface is see-through so I can't see simple HUD, and windows are see through but the text is visible. and the music is sloooww. I hope it's okay to run and not dangerous or anything  :( :o
