For my fellow Mac / Linux / Android folks:
If you want to play badly enough, buy one of these:
http://www.microcenter.com/product/437498/TW100_101_Tablet_-_BlackFull Windows 8 tablet for $180. I am using it with a wireless keyboard and connected to a monitor via the micro HDMI cable to write this message. It is plenty powerful, and cool to hold a full Windows PC in your hands.
No reason not to go this route if you are serious about playing SWC.
