Working In Windows
stub - anyone, please fill in more!
- The Collectors Edition of XCOM works in Windows already.
- The DOS version can be finicky in WinXP. While it's probably possible to subdue it manually, many people use DOSBox as a WinXP DOS emulator, with a high degree of success. It does have some minor inconveniences, but they're a lot less than figuring everything out manually! A tutorial for DOSBox can also be found here.
