I hate Microsoft.
Halo was originally supposed to be released as a PC only game... then Microsoft gobbled it up and sent it to XBox. The only released it on the PC a year later, and it only runs on XP. There's no reason in the world it couldn't run on 98 or 2000, except for the fact that Microsoft wants to use it as a gimmick to force you to buy XP.
Now they're doing the same thing with Halo 2. There's no reason on God's green Earth Halo 2 couldn't work with XP. In fact, they probably had to hardcode the instructions in there to make it specifically not work with XP. All Halo has become is an advertising gimmick for Microsoft, it's barely even a game anymore. And now that Lionhead is being gobbled up by Microsoft we can expect the same out of Fable and Black and White.
