this is great news

This is only good news for future games.

If Transgaming would also bring a version of Cedega to the OS X platform, this would even allow plenty of existing games to the OS X platform...

They state that it's also easy for companies to get older games over to Mac. It's great news for new and old games.

What I mean is that you, the end user, can't take an existing CD of a Windows game and play it with Cider. The game developer can however make some tweaks to their source code and build a version that will run on Macs.

This is a great tool for game developers, but does little or nothing for end users until products are released.

True True. That would be nice if we were able to "port" them over to the Mac versus waiting to see if the developers update the games. This is at least a start.
