There have been a fair number of Mac/PC hybrid CDs: Blizzard's Warcraft 
stuff is virtually all hybrids.

Mac users keep track of this because often you can find a deal on a 
hybrid CD that's branded or sold only as a PC disc by the store, and 
because you can get these discs at more places than you can find 
Mac-only CDs.
