I was previously under the belief that Vista was required for LIVE support. Which was supposed to be the reason why Shadowrun was a Vista only title, but now Microsoft is confirming LIVE support for both XP and Vista. It's a fairly interesting move.

Pst. Fallout 3 is a 2008 game.
And yeah, it’s interesting to see MS backing off on their Vista pushing a bit. It seems like gamers have yet to embrace it. I have a dual boot myself, but i admit, I do just use XP most of the time.
