I use 3 different Macs for work - MacBook, MacBook Pro, and an 24" iMac. I recently moved and never bothered to unpack my PC gaming machine...which is over 4 years old now and really lacking compared to my work computers.
I tried Bootcamp with XP on my Macbook to run AH2...no joy.
I tried Bootcamp with XP on my Macbook Pro...can't remember the problem, but it didn't work. IIRC it crashed repeatedly and/or had spinning clipboard problems that wouldn't let me pick menu option to enter game!
I couldn't install XP via Bootcamp on my iMac. Kept stalling during the install. Not sure why...worked on the other two.
Finally, I bit the bullet and installed Vista on the MacBook Pro. AH2 works like a charm with no tweaks. Sometimes I have to alt + tab back to desktop and pull up AH2 again (not close program, just minimize) b/c the clipboard disappears, but in game...no problems as of yet.
I also tried Parallels and VMWare Fusion on all 3 machines to run AH2...doesn't work at all.
I'd be interested to see how many other people out there run AH2 on a Mac and what problems (if any) you've run into.
A quick search of the forums by "Mac" revealed these (after sifting through all the AWMac references):
Sorry (suck at HTML commands so can't make a nice list)

I have AH installed on a 24" iMac, runs under Leopard/Bootcamp/WinXP..only problems I HAD was with a bogus sound file, (removed same) and the Clipboard spin. After I installed the following Hotfix : "Windows XP Hotfix Patch: KB896256 " issue with the Clipboard disappeared. :)
