My experience is not with the software, but with the warm-ware -- the
people. Years ago Bricogne and others no longer with the company visited
one of our beamlines to measure data with a complicated geometry. I found
them patient and knowledgeable -- very pleasant to work with on a
difficult problem. For the last several years Clemens Vonrhein and/or
Claus Flensburg have visited Brookhaven to help teach RapiData. Both are
excellent teachers, patient and organized in what they have to say,
generous with their time with the students.

The info at
http://www.globalphasing.com/buster/installation/index.html#requirements
will give you some hints about whether it will be successful on OS X.
As per the Global Phasing modus operandi, any instruction involving
installation of their software is muddled in riddle and ambiguity.
They have made an art of making their software difficult to install. I
guess the philosophy is that if you can somehow get their software
installed, then you have earned your phase information. Personally,
I'd rather solve my structure with using chisanbop and a pencil than
attempt to install Global Phasing software.
Speaking from experience, this is my 2c. Apologies if I hurt anyone's
feelings who are "just trying to make a buck".
