Hello leviathanmisha,

You can install Windows onto your Mac via bootcamp if you have an official copy of Windows: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Hi There,
Just so I understand correctly -- When Origins comes out with a Mac version of the downloader, will I be able to download Mac compatible versions of the games I bought in the past, without having to run BootCamp/Windows?

  That's correct. If you have them registered on your Origin account, you will only need to download Origin for Mac when it comes out, and you will have all your games ready to download and play.
