Refer a friend - give it to a mac user?

[Hobbsies]

If I give my refer a friend key to a mac user, will he be able to play? Or is it still only for pc?

Still only PC at present, so you'd be wasting that friend invite.

Still only PC at present, so you'd be wasting that friend invite.Can't he just run the windows client program for macs and install it?

[Aorin]

Can't he just run the windows client program for macs and install it?

If he has some sort of VM, then sure. There's just no native Mac version, atm.

[Terin]

You can give it to him, and he'll have it on his B.net account until they come out with the Mac client.

[Lykwid]

Well, he could always use boot camp and play it that way if he or someone he knows, can get it from has windows in some form on CD.

Other then that, I doubt the beta will have a Mac client

Just tell him to buy a real computer and stop paying absorbent amounts of money for a sticker of an apple imprinted on his Intel based chipset anyway.

Because the chipset determines the computer, amirite?

There will eventually be a Mac beta—I think Blizzard said something about April. In the meantime, I'm running SC2 off Boot Camp.

[Magpie]

Mac beta will be soon they said

yes





"soon"

I can't wait i hate switching comps just to play SC2.

Nothing better than a Mac'y trying to defend the reason why the spend soo much more money to get stuck with a propriety only system that only maybe 10% of people use to run on an Intel chipset and have to boot into Windows to run anything good. :D

Sorry I've worked in IT for over 10 years now. I work at a VERY large datacenter building servers and no one in the industry considers Mac relevant in anyway shape or form. You'd be better off learning linux and that's FREE.

[Crisischild]

There's always Wine. It's not perfect but it works. And It's free.

If he has a Windows partition (he could use the user friendly Boot Camp), then he could install it there, no problem. It runs flawlessly on my late 2008 MacBook Pro 15".

The Mac client is due by “mid-April” like everything else worth waiting for according to that Twitter interview.

And for those thinking “omg mactard,” know that this thing is glorious for my work and anyone muddling around with Windows to do what I do is a masochist. I’m a freelance designer and Windows ClearType is the #%@%ing most horrible @*%! on the earth and I hope it dies a painful death. Also got a monstrous PC rig that I built, but it doesn’t see much use any more since I can’t take it everywhere, and because Windows renders fonts like a #%#*@ (tried a Hackintosh, was not the same).

Says the person coming into a Mac thread to troll Mac users. Nothing better than trying to fend off the PC'y people who believe that anyone who disagrees with their computer choice is wrong.
