Screw PC and Mac, real men run Linux.
Also, this is a lesson learned. Don't use a Mac.

Macs are absolutely awesome; they're really fast, visually appealing, just as reliable as Linux (though no where near as customizable) because their both UNIX derivatives, and don't get viruses / spycrap. They completely blow Windows out of the water and are very much worth the price.As a matter of fact, this spiffy hotel I'm in has a mac right next to the TV. I've checked it out and stuff, played with it, if it wasn't locked down by the hotel's permissions, I'd try installing and playing Soldat in a heartbeat. I'll find out soon enough how great it'll be though, I'll have a macbook pro in my hands within a few days (rest assured it'll never run Winblows or Linux as that'd be completely defeating the purpose)
Actually Optik, I have good news for you... if you have an Intel Mac. If you have an Intel Mac, you can use a program called Crossover, which allows you to run Windows programs natively, without needing a seperate install of windows. That means Soldat or any Windows program (capable of running through Crossover) will run even better on a Mac than a PC lol, since Macs are superior to PC's. Even OS X surpasses Windows in everything it is capable of. The new version - Windows Vista is actually a bloated upgrade of XP and it's interface is an OS X ripoff. "PC, you are coming to a sad realization. Allow or Deny?"So if you have an intel mac, then install and enjoy.
Macs crash far more often. The cannot do as much. Cannot change parts.
Yes, lets please not have this thread turn into a religious debate. It is pretty clear that Linux, Windows and Mac users will never agree when anyone in the discussion is stuck to one side. Has anyone had luck with:- Crossover Games and Soldat- Virtualbox and Soldat- WINE and Soldat (on a Mac)- Parallels and Soldat- VMWare Fusion and Soldat I have tried all of them and had one problem or another. With Virtualbox, VMWare Fusion and Parallels, the problem was that my mouse input was amplified by about 10,000 so that 1px of input movement would translate to some huge amount of movement on the screen.
QuoteMacs crash far more often. The cannot do as much. Cannot change parts.LOL good laugh. Funniest thing I've read since Bush had shoes thrown at him Anyways, for some reason, wine wouldn't install on my computer. Neither Crossover or Crossover Games would run soldat properly, it would sit at the startup screen and not move. Parallels, you need a Windows install disc to install it on a "virtual machine." VMWare asked me for a serial number. Not sure why, but I'll have another go at that today.
