I have to say that I love vista on my laptop (and yes I play games with it) and everything I have tried has worked or had a fix out. I play BF2 (all exps), BF1942 (all exps but vietnam), Cod1 (all exps), Cod2 (all exps), Cod4, all the sims 2 (but free time and one stuff pack), kotor 1, kotor 2, EAW, NWN 2 (and exps), AOE 2 (and exps), AOE 3, Mass Effect, LOTR Battle for Middle Earth, Sins of a Solar Empire, and all of these are curently installed and working. I have only one problem when i exit a game after it as exited it says that (insert program name here) has stoped working and needs to close (but I was exiting so no duh it stoped working lol) and that is only on 5 of the old ones. But hey mabey I am just lucky.
