A long-time frustration of Mac users has been the length of time between a Windows release of a game, and its subsequent Mac release. Sometimes, these delays can last years or more, and leave Mac users playing version 1 of a given game while their Windows brethren are up to version 3.
Allegedly, this is all a thing of the past. On the new Intel-based Macs, Transgaming has released "Cider" (get it?) which implements the Windows API (i.e. the stuff that makes games work under Windows) in MacOS X, so that developers can simply drop their existing Windows-based game into it and POOF! Instant Mac game.
This could be a good thing. And perhaps the basis for a "Red Box" module to allow the running of any Windows software on the Mac.
