I have a good friend who has been collecting many games for many years. He's
a collector. I bet he'll be praying that his games will not become a pile of
rubbish. That's what experts have always warned about. Companies thrive in
the breaking of the old and selling of the new.
Watch some stats:
Vista breaks 90% of games, claims game publisher
,----[ Quote ]
| Alex St. John, chief executive of game publisher WildTangent, today
| blasted his former employer for a half-baked and negligent way of
| treating the majority of game publishers - small development studios
| and individual programmers of casual games: St. John claims that at
| least nine out of ten games do not work with Vista.

It means that Windows XP users may actually get /more/ games working if they
switch to Linux, rather than move into the 'land of no games' (AKA Vista).
Virtualisation is not a solution here. It's an ugly workaround that won't
last for long. It is also not secure (not with the PC plugged to the
network).
