They didn't abandon it (XP). I just got an auto update from Microsoft today. I get one every month.
Don't blame us XP users for 1C mistake. Nobody forced them to code CLoD for XP. They chose to do it. If you choose to do something and tell the world that is what you are going to do for 6 years, then you have problems. Well, just fix it instead of blame game. Btw having to be on XP is not a deal breaker for me. I like XP. But if CLoD in fact runs better on Win7, then I would have no problem buying Win7. It's a 32 bit game, so Win7 or XP in 32 bit...how much different can they be? The 64 bit Win7, I don't even think it get utilized to potential as 64 bit op system. My mom and my sister has win7. I don't see what is so great about it. XP I know about. It works and is reliable. I don't need to have an intimate relationship with my operating system with sparkles. Still, I don't understand how you can know how to code DirectX10, but not DirectX9 or any DirectX version before that? Given that old IL-2 had DirectX9 capability...1C should be an expert at DirectX9 since they have written many games in DirectX9!!! Also, 46' mod game is simply much better imo. I will be playing that for long time. It runs very well for me on XP. I have no reason to change at this point. If CLoD ever gets better than that or I get tired of it, then I will change to CLoD if it is worthy of my time. Right now, I don't see that happening anytime soon. I had big expectations. 128 player mega battles online that would last for days/weeks/months. Isn't that what they told us?

XP = Dx9 only
Win 7 = Dx10 and 11 And XP = 4gb RAM max. Win 7 64bit = 16gb RAM max (or possibly higher) That's good enough a warrant upgrading for me. Oh BTW before anyone says it. That dx10 hack for xp does not really work.

11 people run on XP so far, Verses how many who dont?
Are the devs working on pc's that use Dx9? maybe thats why we didnt get anything in Dx11 ?

Well, I understand the poll...however IMHO it is lacking in definition.
I believe the poll should have reflected something like this... XP-32 XP-64 W7-32 W7-64 Home W7-64 Pro W7-64 Ult Other? Then post your reasons why you run whatever.... To post that XP runs better than W7 and not state which version of W7 is meaningless to everyone... Their is a huge difference between the 32 bit and 64 bit versions in performance...and there is a huge, IMHO, difference in W7 64 Home to W7 64 Pro & Ult.... Further to compare XP 32 to W7 32 is essentially apples to apples, performance wise...(mem limitations). Seems to me we need a "bi-poller" to get the true view...
