FWIW: It's a violation of the NDA to say if or how well the alpha software ran on Macs or any other computer or OS.

And a correction: Boot Camp isn't hypervisor. It's a dual-boot setup utility for disk partitioning and includes Windows drivers for the Apple hardware. That's it. You still buy Windows (or download Linux) and you install it directly onto the hardware. Mac OS doesn't even run during the install or while you're booted into the other OS. You might be thinking of VMWare's or Parallels's Mac products, which does create a virtual machine session hosted inside Mac OS X.


Not sure why mentioning Macs brings out the genocidal rage-aholics. Like with cars, it's a better world with a variety. Some people like to just enjoy the looks and a soft ride. Others like just getting work done, like ambulance drivers. Nothing wrong with doing your own maintenance and obsessing over component specs as a job or hobby, either.

If Macs were completely horrible at gaming we wouldn't see companies increasingly making games for Mac OS X. Guild Wars 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Borderlands 2, to name a few. There's money in it, even for indies, and entertainment for the consumer, or it wouldn't continue.
