OOTP 9 purchase request

Can I hold my breath for the possibility, someday, that I can purchase a Mac + Windows OOTP bundle so I can play both at home and work? Maybe for an extra $5?

Unfortunately, it doesn't look likely at this time, as we have to work with two separate companies to handle the licensing. However, you COULD buy a PC license, and run one copy on a Windows machine, and the other through BootCamp on your Mac, if you have BootCamp. It's not a formally supported way of running the game, but I know people have done it successfully!

I have Boot Camp and VMWare. Haven't tried OOTP yet, but I'm fairly certain it will work, at least under Boot Camp. I might just get the Mac version for work though as I want to show up as a mac user, and therefore justify the market . . .

parallels is much better than bootcamp...no partition required.

Um, what do you think VMWare does? Also, Parallels and VMWare have sketchy, slow DirectX support, leaving no alternative but boot camp at times.
