RE: How un[CIV V]ilized

I'd be numerous varieties of down for such a thing, but I do have a couple of questions, since the last time I started playing multiplayer internet Civ, it was a bit of a pain to set up.
- One potential issue is that the Mac version lags behind the PC version in terms of updatedness any time a patch comes out, often by (if I recall correctly) weeks, so if a patch were to come out and we had some people on one platform and some people on the other, we'd find ourselves stranded on different sides of a compatibility barrier with no way but waiting to get back to the game. Which platform is everyone on? (My main desktop is Windows, but I can play on a Mac if necessary.)
- From what I remember, one of the pitfalls of pitboss is pitthat the Powers That Be didn't actually provide dedicated pitboss servers the last time I checked (which, admittedly, was over the summer). Is there a plan for who's actually going to host the server?
As far as mods and availabilities and such like, I've got (as far as I know) all the major expansions and content save for the most recent map pack (the Scrambled Continents one), and I'm available mostly whenever.
