i got mc1 & mc gold and they work fine(i didn't download mc2 yet) PS: i think that alot of people liked the mechwarrior's better than mechcommander's so MS said "what the heck?everybody hates it anyway! lets make it free!" and made it free so its legel.(think about it, its way more fun to be in a mech than command one)

Good point, this ain't that good. It's missing a big part of RTS, BUILDING!!! So it's RTT (Real Time Tactics), which is not nearly as good

MC Gold works fine on my Vista
