It's one of the best add-ons for Marathon which has been created. As such, "EMR" is not a game, but an add-on, which needs Marathon or Aleph One to be useful.
I wish MacNN would spell this out at least ONCE, instead of merely listing the acronym, and implying it is a separate game...
See: http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/security.html
Bad idea.
Bad.
Please also note that it is not enabled yet. Apple is very good about timing. They'll feel for the best time to run it, most likely after people are "waiting for SP2" and Apple can also highlight all of the great apps that are Leopard only.

I thought the day that Mac started using Intel you would stop using a mac ;)
Steve & Co. (aka Apple) have a master plan - global domination... it all started with the ipod and it being a must have by all the kids out there - now they are doing it again with the cellphone market - all focused at selling more Macs - so now you've got a bunch of new Mac users who will be looking at running windows based apps as that is what they have accumulated from their old PC days... this is a very smart idea, Apple is always looking at future possibilities and needs... that is why I'm a Mac user.
Part of my job as a SysAdmin requires that I install and use a number of small windows exe apps for thermal printer administration, bar code scanner programing, etc
All run perfectly within OS X.
