Once you go mac you never go back!
Cons:
Transgaming also has Cedega for Linux, which if it and Cider both work....why have anything else but a linux box or a Mac?
My B-I-L was a Beta Tester for Microsoft for Vista and even he's not sure he wants Vista on his machine. Think he's staying with XP and Ubuntu Linux. Vista has the "eye candy" which as one tech on another BBS said was like they just discovered 3D and went nuts with it. It's slower to navigate, has endless pop ups asking if you really wanted to do that and my B-I-L made a comment that when you first install it does not set up an Administrator Account or password. However if you want to change things, then it wants an Administrator password, which of course you don't have. I don't need that.
Then there are the hardware requirements. At least 2 gig of ram if you actually want to do more than load the OS and a video card that can handle all that "eye candy".
dizzy:
The thing about Cedega and Wine is that they are lacking in Direct3D support, so at the moment you have to use Windows for Sims. Rather ironic since TS2 doesn't even work that good in Windows. :P
I have to admit, Direct 3D is easier to program in than OpenGL but that just makes life harder in the long run (encourages laziness in driver support and coding, etc).
