How is it a Microsoft issue??????

Simple - they released a new OS and have no support for popular games that
are not compatible. Sure - it is easy to blame EA but the problem is I
didn't buy a new game from EA, I bought a new Operating System and now my
game doesn't work.

Well, actually it DID work and then Vista did an auto update and now it will
not work anymore. I am so tired of the "poor microsoft - it isn't their
fault" rant. If you are going to release a "cutting edge" new OS then it is
your responsibility to make sure you have fixes for issues that don't involve
pointing the finger. All it does is piss people off even more.

If you knew EA WAS NOT COMPATIBLE then why didn't you tell us before we
bought your new OS? So yeah - I see it is a microsoft problem. The problem
is they talked me into this new software and failed to tell me my favorite
programs were not compatible with it.

Spin that blame around and tell me how it is someone else's fault MVP
