The Devil's Advocate
From the same developers that brought Windows games to the Linux platform (Cedega), TransGaming this week introduced Cider, an application "wrapper" that essentially allows Mac gamers to install and play Windows games directly in OS X -- no dual-booting or virtualization required.
Cider is available for Intel-based Macs only, and according to TransGaming, users may see a performance hit ranging from 10 to 15 percent compared to the same game being played in Windows. It's likely that we will also be seeing game development for the Mac pick up as Apple finishes its transition over to Intel processors. Game development will be much easier because the hardware platform is virtually identical. Apple is expected to talk about the future of gaming on the Mac platform at its World Wide Developers Conference this week.
