what makes windows vista not able to play games from other windows operating systems is it a file that is not there which file is it and is it possible for a developer programmer to write the file and send it to microsoft so they can put it in a service pack or something....
your problem is everyone's problem, dont worry we eventually get around to it.

Your petition is pointless. Not to be rude, but Microsoft is not going to hang around old technology just because people are too ignorant to learn the new and accept change. If we sit on old technology, regardless of the pros/cons we are setting ourselves up for slower advancement. Now, if you're assuming only the home user wants to use XP instead of Vista then good for them, the problems coming from Vista will be significantly reduced in Vienna (Windows 7). There are countless advantages to Vista over XP from a security standpoint but no-one can argue the resource instensive kernal they should have spent another year working on. Regardless, the new OS will require ALOT less resources to run smoothly then Vista. It may take some time, but this petition idea will never matter. The time frame and the resources required for Microsoft to support an Operating System that is outdated in their eyes would be a set back for everyone on the planet. Step up and quit being panseys'! Move on with the world before it moves on without you. If something isn't working for you, learn how to fix it or learn to accept it. Things change, and change is good.

So I've learned,
Some games and programs don't work on vista
There is a file that is essential to XP that Vista no longer needs
thus, it is not included
I think it was "The 3D Game Maker" (I was bored with not much else to do) that wouldn't work w/o a certain file
(Not sure if I wasn't supposed to do this but,) I copied the file from my XP to my Vista, to the correct folder, and the program seemed to work just fine
Although I'm probably not the only one who has done that!!!

MS is supporting XP till 2014.
