Great! It seems that almost all recent games can be run in Windows Vista.
Microsoft should have considered that Windows Vista can run all Windows XP games.

[brunet joel]

Hi all!
We have also: (for Vista 32 bits version).

American conquest Divided Nations:
CossacksII and all its custom maps.

[Jito463]

My favorite new game plays perfectly with Vista Ultimate x64, Lord of the Rings Online.

[zamiel]

Whats that like Jito? How much does it cost per month?

[Jito463]

It has similarities to other MMO's on the market, as you'd expect, but with the lore and history contained in the Lord of the Rings books. The detail in-game is so closely matched to the books, you can take maps from the books themselves and use them to navigate the game world. The Founders Club deal (those who preordered) is $9.99 per month or $199 for a lifetime membership (the option I chose). For everyone else, it's $14.99 per month.

[MaLing]

Jito, what about if you had chosen to pay monthly rather than for lifetime, and then stopped paying for a month, and then resumed paying, would you have been able to continue the account?

[Jito463]

Yes, but the price would resume at $14.99 instead of $9.99.

[MaLing]

Yours is pre-order price, so I suppose that general users will pay more than $14.99 for resuming.

Lifetime plan seems to be a better choice.

[Jito463]

No, the preorder pricing is either $9.99/mo or $199 for life. The general pricing is $14.99/mo.

[MaLing]

Oh I see, so there is no lifetime plan for general users.
