Aotrs for once we agree heartily. I have the money, but I don't have the time nor the inclination to replace a perfectly good OS, for all the reasons you know as well.

The latest Jagged Alliance? XP compatible. HOMM6? XP compatible. This is the first PC game I care about to be incompatible. Oh well, I guess I'll buy it for PS3. Which means I won't be modding it. Which means I won't play it as much...

Which probably means I'll end up not buying it.
