I don't think Blizzard will bother to release a Universal Binary patch for Warcraft 3. All their attention now is at World of Warcraft.

Just that for intelmac, it will be buggy and slow cos' it design for PPC mac only. The best way is running under bootcamp. For crossover, i had use it before, kinda buggy as well since crossover still under beta  btw, hamachi for mac don't have chat feature  |
