so wut halo 2 pc will only be for windows vista?
Yes unfortunately, but people may be able to run it on XP anyways, privided they find some way to circumvent the Vista thing, so don't get your hopes down.
there is not a chance in hell of circumventing the vista-only aspect of the game, sure, you might have been able to do it with windows 98-XP, but that's because essentially, they were all exactly the same operating system, just with different GUIs and some added features. Vista wil be a totally new OS, reportedly with the only similarities to previous windows will be in the front-end GUI, and even that's meant to be different.
ACTUALLY... windows XP isnt anywhere near the same code as 98. 98 is DOS based using a GUI, ME was DOS still, 2000 was NT, and Windows XP is NT. The only way to run programs from windows 98 on XP is using a DOS emulator. So, they didnt work perfectly.
