The game exe is still only 32-bit. It has more to do with Windows XP and/or Directx 9. Anywho, the new graphics engine will probably work better on both platforms.

Whatever the reason is, I just don't see these serious problems anymore in Windows7. If the development team is currently using lots of effort to support many operating systems and versions of DirectX, maybe they could consider increasing game's minimum requirements in order to speed up development - for BattleOfMoscow? CoD was supposed to work in WinXP, but I'm not so sure if this will ever really happen.
