XP support for SE4, other games
 

Primarily i was wondering if SE4 adn the the GOLD will be supported for or already are with back compatibility uder Windows XP.

I am completly sure that Starcraft is. Do you know about other games like Jane's Fleet Command, Worms Armagadeon, Sim City 3000, Pharoah, Alpha Centauri, Roller Coaster Tycoon?

I've ran SEIV under windows 2000 and there was no problem. Given that XP has the same core as 2000 just with a different UI, I don't expect any problems too.

If any of your games dont work, you can always use XP's settings to see if you can get them to work. Its somewhere in the program properties, maybe, and you can set various settings to get older programs to work. DOS programs can sometimes be made to work, and nearly every Win9x program should work, if you set it up right.
It really depends. I wouldn't bet on any really old DOS or Win 3.11 programs working, and any of the earliest Win95 programs might not work. You can always experiment though.

SE4 works with XP so I expect SE4 Gold will as well.

I haven't found any problems with games that I played on Win ME. Only software I had a problem with was astronomy software called Redshift and that problem was the Quicktime start movie crashing out.
