I really, truly hate having to use tricks and workarounds to get games to work on each new version of Windows. OK, I understand that I can't expect games I played in Win 98 to still work.
But I hate having to jump through hoops to get things to work on our laptop, which has Win 7.
Our desktop is Win XP, and with my precarious job situation I'm not planning to get a new computer any time soon. I only buy one or two games a year, mainly sports management sims. If the newer ones won't work on XP, then so be it. I'm tired of chasing Microsoft.
