*shrugs* Well, I can't play Battlezone (1996, DirectX 5) or Battlezone 2 (1997, DirectX 7) on my Windows XP (DirectX 9c) machine. Both games bork out complaining that DirectX is not installed. So I guess those masters of compatibility missed something somewhere.
Have fun,
Paul

For DirectX, I can say that my older games seem to work fine.
A Google search shows me people playing all sorts of Battlezone on XP, Vista and Vista64. It looks like there are patches.

I won't say MS is perfect at it. I will say that I think they are the best at backward compatibility.
