I have this "new" game sitting in the closet, hoping patches will some day appear to take care of the bugs. It does not run well with XP either. UBI tech support said this game isn't designed to run on XP. Now, I would think with all the delays it would be bug free and run on all the MS platforms.If you want to be frustrated and start the game over and over again then buy it. The "new" Destroyer Command that just came out to go with SH2 is probably the same config. Check the UBI websight and read about the SH2 problems if you want more information.
