[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 168709, member: 3850"] No - you can't install a windows version of a game on a mac. Some games come with both version of the game on one disc (nearly all of blizzard's for example) but these are rare. The problem is that currently mac's & PC's use to different types of processors, which makes all the code incompatible. Next year, mac's will be introduced that run on "regular" processors, eliminating the need for a full port of the game. Then it should be possible to just provide a mac installer. [/QUOTE]
