Mac users might use this for RTS?

This might be something you could look at:

Cross Over Mac

I just did a quick google and have no idea how good it is and if it is legit.  You'll need to do a lot more in depth studying on it before you make any type of decision.  Has anyone ever heard of this company or this product?  If it was legit, it would be the perfect fit for the Mac/RTS problem.  Let me know what you all think.

p.s. It could mess up your computer, it could mess up your life!!  Well probably not, but if it does, it's your fault, you were warned, haha.

I've used similar products in the past, with limited results.  They're based on a technology called "Wine," which tricks the software into thinking the computer is a Windows machine.  Works well for getting an old copy of Office to run on Mac or Linux, but since some code tweaking is needed, it doesn't get too useful for small software releases.

That being said, this one didn't have a trial when I previously saw it, so I'm willing to see how it does with RTS once I finish up a project and some midterms in the next week or two.  Codeweavers has made decent apps in the past, so it's worth the try, at least.
