Hi from a fellow Mac user
As an avid adventure game fan, I have decided from day one I had to install Windows on my mac to get the best possible playing experience and be able to play all the new and old games. I have had Windows XP (I would not dare install Win Vista and I really don´t need it) on my macbook pro for years now with great results. I have been able to play almost all the games I bought and they run as they would on a pc, if not better. Sometimes I had graphic problems but it turned out that it was because I did not update my graphic card driver, which by the way you can do by just updating your bootcamp software, and other problems I encountered were solved with game patches, so windows xp on a mac does work very nicely. I do not know of alternative solutions to installing windows, other than virtual OS but they would almost certainly impair your ability to run games.
