If you install Windows on your Macbook (either using Boot Camp or Paralells), you can install it on the Windows partition, and run it like you would on a PC. But if you don't have a copy of Windows XP lying around, you'd have to shell out $200 bucks for a copy of XP Home (Still? And Vista's been out for how long? Come on Micro$oft). But if you don't have a spare copy of Windows, there is still hope for you. Crossover Games lets you install and play many PC games (including SC4 of course), on an Intel Mac. It isn't free (around $40), but it's cheaper than buying Windows, or even the Mac version of SC4 Deluxe. And you can use it to play other games too.

EDIT: Should probably be moved to the Mac Forum.

You can also install linux and play the game through CEDEGA. That is the most stable solution.
