woo-hoo! Another kick in the gonads for Vista - if only all software companies were so accommodating!

(Insert lovely crunching-nutty-groaning noises here)

I wonder if there will be any legal action. Also, I'm a bit leary after reading their site. Where's my free set of steak knives??

?
What goods? What they're selling there is Halo2 (vista only) and Shadowrun (vista only) and a promise that, expected late July, you'll also get a program that will allow you to run it on XP if they are able to get it fully working.
In fact, I'm a little suspicious that you can only get it from pre-ordering from that alone, as it seems to be a direct link to the regular Amazon Halo2 preorder.

I noticed that Tiger... I was talking it over with an engineer friend of mine at work to day and the fact that the link to amazon has NO tie to Falling Leaf, makes me wonder if they weren't commissioned by MS perhaps in order to anonymously saving face or at least avoid a riot.

thoughts? can anyone track these two companies?

Somehow, despite the Xbox being about equivalent to a 733 MHz machine with a GeForce3 and just a measly 64MB of RAM, you need a much beefier machine than that to run a port of a three-year old game, and the extra step of requiring Vista on top of those high requirements feels like more of an insult than anything. ...

That kinda puts things perspective.

yeah, it is. but not too surprising.

I'm kinda hoping this is one of those articles that nit-picks something; turning mole hills into mountains. ... one can hope.

So let me get this straight:
You like X game, but you can't get X game because you have neither console Y nor operating system Z, which you are very likely to get in the near future. Therefore, you want the company that made X game to die, wich would also result in X game dieing out too.

Sorry, what age are you again?
