Are you noticing any differences playing with different OS?

I'm getting weird Window-Mode-behaviour with Mac that I can't cancel with the settings in BW. Often have to reconfigure graphic settings in OS or uninstall BW.

Was wondering if you also have similar/different problems or if there are performance differences between both OS.

OS X is completely incompatible with professional BW since dissolution of Power PC support (ver 10.7+). Remastered made BW working on OS X, but it is still incompatible with intense gaming.

Even if you will resolve Brood War (Remastered) issues, you still have mouse acceleration and other issues. Even if you resolve these, you still have others.
Set up a Windows boot camp section for BW/ Remastered.

I tried playing on mac and it was impossible to get the same feeling as playing on windows. Even after disabling mouse accel, going to old graphics, messing with hardware cursor/mouse scaling settings. I just gave up on it.
