Well, while it's true that XP does have some compatibility issues with older games, despite the compatibility wizzard which is supposed to negate such problems, it also has to be said that Medal Of Honour DOES work on XP. I know this because I use XP and I own MoH.

TBH, it's not that much of a problem, since I've found that XP is only non-compatible for games over about 3 years old, and even then only some of them.

And to be honest, most people own an older version of windows anyway, so if you want to play older games, it's no great obstacle.

But XP is the most reliable, useful and stable windows platform EVER, and not being able to use a few old games is a small price to play.
