I was reading in an old Maximum Pc mag about Vista...and how it plans on getting rid of alot of old codes that are now considered vulnerabilities.

which brings me to the aged old question?

which games are we going to be able to play from ages past such as the classics?

example: StarCraft or any others that lots of people are still playing almost 10yrs later?

also read something about the new DX10 and how they are ridding alot of old features too??

Microsoft usually prides itself on being able to give us a lot of backwards compatibility, and the tool for enabling this in Vista is currently in Beta. What will work and what won't, there's no set list yet available for. We'll have to see…

Vista will support only DirectX 10, but will have a third party emulator to make the non compatible cards work with games (you will need a G80 or G90) to run full campatibility with directX10 and Vista games, as for old games I am not sure. Hope so as I still luv playing Duke Nukem and Original Quake and Doom.
