Hi Damien, Yeah, the fact of the matter is some people are going to upgrade and we can't stick to total Windows XP only compatibility forever. As of last month Windows XP has totally been pulled off the market, and everything is Windows Vista. So even if you buy a new laptop, and want to buy XP all you can do is hope to find new copies on Ebay or find left over stock some place. In the general market at least Mac OS Leopard sales are up since more and more sighted companies and home users are sick of Vista as well. Vista hasn't been the success Microsoft hoped it would be, and more people are at least thinking about Linux or Mac OS now. As game programmers we need to keep an eye on these trends as we are slowly seeing it happen to the blind community as well. I have a friend from high school who was so disgusted with Vista he went Linux. I know someone else who recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Leopard on it. Both of them are blind,and they don't want to go to Vista.
