"Bootcamp is the solution!" type comments disgust me. Let me break it down..
1: I already paid 1200+ for my apple, so to get games you'd have to add add another $199 for a decent copy of windows and then $50 for the game. Thats alittle much to stomach on a college budget.
2: BootCamp is still Beta-ware. I know it may not seem like it, but its still a beta and has bugs. When I borrowed a friend's SP2 disk the installation failed and I almost killed my poor Apple.
3: BootCamp only works with XP. To my knowledge(please tell me if i'm wrong) Vista hasn't worked using BootCamp. As less stores carry Windows XP the option to BootCamp becomes slimmer. This Cider project would be a better long term solution
