Good for them I say :cool:

But what about those of us who've already bought the games? Will we be able to download the compatibility software :confused:

From what I gather, yes....for a price! That, however, is provided that can do what they claim ( which sounds to me like like emulating Vista libraries on XP ). The real danger I foresee is that if they dilly-dally too much, and miss their late July release date, there may be a majority of users already switched to Vista, rendering their software useless.

If it's not out by the time Vista SP1 is out, it'll all be for naught, if you ask me.
