When do you think XP will become (if ever) a legacy system for gaming much like how we discuss Win98, etc here?
I'm not talking about EOL support in 2014. It could very well be that Win 7 and it's successors have enough backwards compatibility to not require a period o/s + hardware to run XP era games.
But as it is already, even on 32 bit Win 7 some games like Fallout for example require a serious amount of aggro to get working (E.g. I haven't been able to finish the game in my 2 + years of ownership due to not having a suitable Win XP machine). This will only get compounded over time as we move to 64 bit only OS'es.
