I'm going to try to get this game to work on my new macbook.  (Been trying for days and days).  Hopefully someone else has tried the same thing, or if not I can pioneer for any other unfortunate souls that want to tackle a double DRM monster.

There are topics on steam and Uplay.  I am trying to read through them.  Sorry if I miss something.  In that case please post links to any relevant information already stated in other threads in regards to running steam and Uplay.  Note this specific game almost constantly needs internet access but is not a MMORPG.

Actually I can run steam and Uplay on the mac, in mac OSX (as all know) but windows only games are automatically not available in those views, hence my need for playonmac.

I tried just wine, winetricks, virtualbox.  I haven't got any of them to work.  I am going to try playonmac now.  Please advise me if there is anything I need to uninstall, reinstall etc. from these other programs so it does not conflict with playonmac.

I am new to mac and new to everything non-windows.  So forgive me if I am completely clueless about...everything.

Question #1  Playonmac installed to the desktop, I moved the application icon to the applications folder.  Is this correct?  Should I be playing it out of where it installed it or out of applications folder?  If applications folder is fine, can I put the icon from my desktop into the trash bin?  I like to keep the desktop clean for now, until I figure out how to effectively manage and create shortcuts.
