Windows XP gaming Software

Hi folks,
I am purchasing an Alienware laptop does anyone know if XP gaming software
will run on Vista? I dont know if lets say Sierra will upgrade their software
to Vista. I dont want to buy games that wont run on Vista. unless updates are
ava. from the makers of a game for compatability. Lastly, anyone have
problems connecting to the net with your laptop? I have Comcast my ISP.
Thanks in advance
-Chris

Re: Windows XP gaming Software

So far all the games that I have reinstalled on the vista machine work
without issue. Although some of them need to be run as administrator but
other than that they all work fine.

The only time I have problems connecting to the net is after a hibernation
or sleep period when I have to reset the network by right clicking on the
icon in my system tray and choose to diagnose and repair connection.
