Are all the new PC games playable only on Windows Vista?
I just got C&C: Tiberium Wars, but it won't load on XP because it requires Vista...
Is there any way around this, or do I have to bite the bullet and upgrade?

So will I regret getting my new laptop with Vista pre-installed? I would have chosen XP but unfortunately this was not an option.

Yeah my laptop came like this too. I guess it's not that bad, I just don't like the sloppy feel MS programs.

This really wont help your situation, but iv played C&C3 on: 2 custom built computers, a Dell Desktop, and an IBM laptop. All were running XP.
If anything, update all your drivers. ALL your drivers.
