Does anyone know when and if StarCraft is going to be carbonized? It works pretty well in Classic but I was just wondering about this.

Blizzard are probably more interested in making warcraft 3 carbon than worrying about the old starcraft game. Anyway it works fine under classic so why bother.

Because I'm trying to move away from using any classic apps. Also sometimes the cursor when playing on Bnet it turns into a square when in classic.

mmmmm Can't wait for WC3 The first 2 were Great

Also there is no support for a second mouse button which is really annoying. I hate command-clicking. I'd be very happy to see Starcraft carbonized.

I hear ya, I HATE command-clicking. I dont play any of my games in X, allways boot into 9 for better compatablity and use of my intellimouse.

also, checkout what happened when I DID try a game in classic

Actually Blizzard did say earlier that they were really hoping to carbonize all their prior games to run under OSX. I'm sure thats probably still true, but I'm pretty sure that its not too high on their priority list. I figure that if any game does get carbonized, it will be Diablo II at some point (some update), with SC coming later. (Or i could be wrong and they'll release SC next week all carbonized.)

I dont think we can expect a carbonized Starcraft until WC3 is released. Isn't that the same team that works on starcraft? Starcraft 2 will definitely.
