I just got the trial for thirty days and it crosses over window programs to mac. So you install crossover and then when u get something which requires windows u download it thru crossover and it works.
 pretty simple I'm still thinking about buying it. It costs $40, if i want it after the thirty days. Probably gonna do it later this week. Tell me what you think. |
But, yes, the quickest and dirtiest way to get Mac for Mids is to get some program that either runs a parallel or sandboxed OS on your machine and run from there. Of course, these programs can cost some money, so there's still a reason to push for some cross platform development.

Be sure and try Mids that way for sure if you haven't already. Mids requires the .Net framework, and I'm not certain Crossover supports that (tho I could be off base since I haven't owned a Mac since my original 128K first edition.)

Yes, that would be me (other Mids' team members are on the currently functional version, rather than the we-promise-it'll-happen version). Of course, between school and job, I've honestly had little time to work on the project.|

I haven't forgotten about it, I promise.
But I also make no guarantees about a release date.
Progress updates can be viewed at User:Fleeting Whisper/Tease. You'll note that the most recent update posted to my wiki page was September 13. Yeah, that's about how much time I've had to work on it recently.
(Edit: Got my most recent version up there; now it's November 4)
Actually, I have made one fairly significant change since then... I should probably put it up on my wiki page... *runs off*
