It is able to run on WinXP, and Win7 just by using Dosbox. There is a
version that doesn't even need dosbox but you have to disable directx
hardware acceleration. I have Xcom installed on Win2K right now because
that computer is hooked to a good old fashioned 19" CRT monitor.

But Xeonauts is shaping up to be a worthwhile contender as a successor to
Xcom. I have the beta and like it.
