No surprise they are releasing these big titles on vista only, it's a good way to get people to change over.

... Vista only just plain sucks... So it seems I have to get a new rig in the war room for November then... Loved the 360 GoW and I'm pretty sure I'll be loving this as well..

Thought the devs said it was also going to be compatable with XP?

Ciffy B: Well, we wanted to cast the net as wide as possible as far as the amount of possible systems Gears could run on. So, being on DX9 and running on Windows XP and Vista, we just wanted to make sure we could run on as many systems as humanly possible...it was just good business sense for us. But, if you have a kick-ass system, if you have all the latest [hardware] loaded up there then the game is just going to shine that much better.

I'm sure someone will make it compatible with XP....one way or another. Halo 2 had the same treatment when it came out on PC.

that's my point though, Cliffy B said they wanted it to run on as many systems as possible whether Vista or XP
