<<[WinXP] is going to break all current games>> No more than Win2000 does right now. WinXP is really just stripped-down Win2000 with lipstick and mascara applied, plus a heroic attempt to provide ability to upgrade from Win98 to WinXP. (This turns out to be really difficult because, way back in time, the NT3.5 and Win95 registry structures were never coordinated and they've become hugely different. MSFT has given up on his problem for NT4 and Win2000, but now they're forced to solve it. I wonder how many hundreds of programmers were involved.) It is true that many games don't work under Win2000. Mostly because of economics... companies decide it's not cost-effective to test and debug them for that platform.
