Because they do not kick Windows arse in market share.

You can. First you install XP on OS and play it that way. Games are not writen to work on Mac because of a lack of market base.

But running windows on a Mac surely removes the point of Mac in the first place?

Not enough people have macs for games to be made for mac.

A lot of people don't buy macs because there aren't many games. Very Catch 22

Because macs are too freakin' expensive, or at least they used to be. I don't pay attention to them anymore.

In addition to being just as unstable as Windows it blows big time.

Of course, I'm not sure members of a gaming forum were the intended target of Mac's recent campaign.

There is a small gaming market for MacOS. Plus Windows has a huge chunk of the pie, so its obvious that newer games are first releaced in the Windows OS

Well, you have Civ IV on Mac, that is all that matters for me. Besides, if you really want to play games, buy a videoconsole. If you want a nice computer, buy a Mac.
