[QUOTE="chuckalicious, post: 178283, member: 14875"] I think the games will only run/be easier to code if either of the following things happen: 1. Someone figures out how to get Windows to run properly on the new Mac hardware 2. MS licences Direct X out to Apple to allow them to implement it on OS X. Remember that almost all of the top titles run under Direct X, and OS X simply doesn't have that, it has Open GL, which is why some games have been ported, because they too could run in Open GL on Windows. So I think it has less to do with the actual hardware and more to do with the software..... I don't see it happening any time soon, unless No 1 happens [/QUOTE]
