[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 730704, member: 24098"] Cider is a variant of WINE. WINE is a set of APIs, originally developed for Linux to allow users of that OS to run some Windows applications directly in Linux. Over time, WINE was ported to OS X in several forms, including DarWINE (open source), Codeweavers' CrossOver and Cider. Unfortunately, WINE is pretty hit or miss, and most applications that I've tried to run on it tend to be flaky and unreliable. Cider is a little different than DarWINE and CrossOver. As I understood it, Cider was marketed toward game developers to help ease the process of porting a game over to OS X. Cider is usually included in the "Mac version" of the game and installs quietly in the background. All the developer needs to do is tweak their existing Windows-based code to work with Cider and then they can sell it as a Mac version. [/QUOTE]
