No petitions on the Bungie forums. Thank you.

They are not making Halo 2 PC for XP. Windows 2000, Windows 3.1, Linux, Unix, Mac, Amiga, Atari, N64, or Sega Dreamcast. All you're doing is wasting your time. If you can't get Vista for whatever the reason. Tough -blam!-. Microsoft, Bungie, and Hired Gun aren't going to waste thier time accomodating a bunch of whiny little morons who think they know more about marketing than the bigshots at Microsoft. MS/HG decided to make H2PC Vista exclusive for a reason. That reason(s) may be up for debate, but one thing should have been clear to you for the last 14 odd months. Halo 2 PC will NOT come out for XP. Not now, not ever. So go ahead and waste your time asking for something that will never happen. Just don't do it here.

Sure it can run XP and linux, and mac, and snes, and ps3, FFS what do you think it is called Halo 2 VISTA! I'm sorry I try not to flame now, but this just calls for it.

There's a big difference.
I too ran Office XP on Windows 98SE, but that's not the same. Office isn't a framework-heavy application specifically tailored for Windows XP. Office is actually fairly simple in and of itself. Games, on the other hand, rely heavily on the OS they are written for and require very specific libraries to run. Halo 2 is being written for Vista, but yes, it could have been written for XP. Unfortunately for anyone who doesn't plan on getting Vista, Microsoft has a policy that states how long a specific operating system can be maintained, and XP is due to die by January of '08. Halo 2 is being written for Vista because that way, it will receive full support and urge many to cross the gap from XP to Vista. It may be a cruel marketing scheme, but regardless, it is based on some very conclusive reasoning. Such is the way of the business world.
