Although once rumored to be a Windows 7 exclusive, that was put to rest shortly after the OS’ launch. Don’t expect to install it on XP, though… this is Vista and 7 only.\n\nThere was a platform update to Vista to support it, actually. So on Vista, you may or may not have DirectX11... whereas on 7+ it's guaranteed. That's another reason why Vista is slightly annoying to support. Old Vista was stuck on DirectX 10, newer Vista really felt like beta Windows 7 even down to DirectX 11 support. Used to complain after 7 came out and I had to buy it, that it felt like Microsoft used Vista users for beta testing rather than doing proper beta testing. I had a 64-bit system with hardware just a little too new for XP, so I was stuck with Vista for a while. It worked fine on that hardware, but it needed ReadyBoost and RAM was cramped at 4GB... it really needed 8GB just like 7 and later, IMO.\n\n* * *",
