Maybe I was misundestood. Let's clear my thoughts.
- XP is a new OS and not an upgrade for previous OS's.
- what I meant in my previous rant is I've no problems with programs specifically written to be XP compatible.
YES, I've got problems with some CD-burning apps because they were designed to work for 95/98/ME or NT/2000.
I downloaded new versions, simply dropped in and... tadah! No probs.
And, again, I've installed about 50 or 60 programs (XP versions, remember)in my XP machine and noone gives me a problem.
What I find simply unjustifiable is that you sell a new software that is clearly not working with XP. Who tested it? A blind? Cannot believe that only customers have problems with XP and testers didn't find none.
And last but not least, XP is the OS that is installed in all new machines that are on sale from November 2001.
The truth is: they rushed the game because they could not postpone it again and again (would've been ridiculous to have a game out in 2003 with 2001 pilots, circuits and machines).
