John, Wow. I never once said that anyone was an idiot. I am merely pointing out the advantages to an upgrade that some might be overlooking. I'm not suggesting that anyone trash their XP machine necessarily. I am merely suggesting that if they wish for the newer games that are in development or have been released to work, perhaps they should consider an upgrade in lieu of expecting the developer to go out of their way to add backward compatibility for an operating system that even the maker of doesn't support anymore. And they might want to think about the fact that Certain features that can be implemented due to current standards in hardware and OS, ones that make the game what it is in terms of audio or controls, may not be available in XP. I have no problem with a person that wants to keep XP around for older things. My only concern is a willingness to summarily dismiss the idea that an upgrade mi9ght benefit them out of hand without knowing the facts. And just as a side note to you, no matter how "ridiculous," you think this debate is, it's constitutionally protected.
