What older games will be compaitable with Vista
Z
Zack Whittaker
It does depend, but generally most of them will be. It totally depends on
the game manufacturer, but some of the older games that don't require an
actual install such as Counter Strike and Half Life work perfectly

Thats difficult to determine, 16-bit games of course will continue not be
compatible with 64-Bit Windows. Some 16-bit games will probably also not run
under 32-bit Vista, as Zack noted, get in contact with the Publisher to find
out about compatibility.

Yeah, your best bet is to make sure the publisher/developer of your fave
games knows you want to play them on vista, the more people they get wanting
to play it on vista, the more likely it is they will ensure it is fully
compatible.

And the earlier the better too, they should have Vista RTMed (Release to
Manufacturing) by October 2006 I suspect.

This may sound strange, but is it possible for it to be RTM'd twice? We know
that Vista Business will be available in November 06, whilst the rest of the
editions being made available by January 07... so could it be RTM'd twice?

All editions will be RTM'd once, but certain customers will get it at
certain periods, Businesses under Volume License and SA contracts will
receive it in November 2006, while consumers will receive the retail and OEM
copies of Vista in January. Thats called General World wide release.

Heres a good question that ubi wouldn't themselves explain. Will Ubi games
that use StarForce copy protection get the required update they need in order
to run on a 64 bit OS, not even if it's Vista 32, I know that Splinter Cell
Chaos Theory WILL NOT run on anything other than Windows 2000, XP. There
installer prevents it.

Vista to
and there is always the posability to use dual boot

Check my post on page one here. StarForce has already released a patch for
vista. When I get home tonight I'm going to try it out. From what I've read
it hasn't worked on all SF games. But hopefully this will help people.
