Lob passed this on to me. Very cool:

"Cider is a sophisticated portability engine that allows Windows games to be run on Intel Macs without any modifications to the original game source code.  Cider works by directly loading a Windows program into memory on an Intel-Mac and linking it to an optimized version of the Win32 APIs.  Games are simply wrapped up in the Cider engine and they work on the Mac.  This means developers only have one code base to maintain while keeping the ability to target multiple platforms.  Cider powered games use the same copy protection, lobbies, game matching and connectivity as the original.  All this means less work and lower costs. Cider is targeted at game developers and publishers and, unlike Cedega, is not an end user product."

Holy shit this is what we have been waiting for - it really is going to be getting the best possible cake, getting to eat it - and making your best mate who only gets a mouldy biscuit to watch you eat it!

All we need is for developers to actually take the initiative  to use this technology.
