Seems like a Windows release. Nothing really new, just a few additions so people can pay for it all over again.
So, I guess it means we will get a collection every n years? Great. |

I already own some or all of these games, what's new about these?
The 17 titles have been updated to work for Windows 7 and Windows Vista. In addition, since they are now playable via Origin, you will be able to utilize many of the Origin features such as cloud saves.

As far as I know EA's Origin requires Windows XP SP2 at least. So it should work on all Windows including Windows XP SP2. |
