    No.

    Right now they only have plans for a Windows launch, and have said that will be it, though it is *possible* in the *future* it *might* release on other platforms. But they have just left that door open, as all companies do, and I doubt they will actually use it.

    MAC can use a Windows Emulator, though Im unsure if it would work very well for games.. I'v never tried nor do I have a MAC.

    if you got  an Intel mac then you should probably get bootcamp, 100% stable windows.

    And if  you dont have Intel chip, then the only way is  prey for a OpenGL library for WAR

    Actually, it's not an emulator anymore. Boot Camp is the name, and you can literally run windows on your mac. Boot Camp simply gives you an option upon startup. "Windows" or "Mac".

    I have 3 copies of windows installed on all 3 of my macs.. Laptop, imac, and a hot new tower. When I boot up XP, the machines simple become pc's with the same hardware specs as the mac.

    If you want to hop from xp to osx, Parallels works like a dream too. "option, enter" and the screen flips over the to the other OS immediately.  I end up only using xp for gaming though ...

    Thanks for the Info!..   I have been out of the loop in regards to MAC information... I used to enjoy my Mac.

    You know, this is something that is just interesting to the point of making me laugh.  I work in graphical design and use a MAC at work because MAC's are considered the current forerunner in marketing and graphical design usage.  PC's have always been the better gaming computer period.  Don't know why people force their MAC's to play games, if you want to game use a PC, if you want to make art and other stuff use a MAC. Just my observation.

      I got MBP and winxp runs great. Bootcamp doesn't emulate Windows, it's 100% stable, so..no you wont lose anything

    edit: although parallels isn't so great when it comes to accelerate 3D stuff(well old games from 1990-2000 works)
