Yup.
I installed Vista. On my new computer. Some ridiculous specs, won't bother you with it, put let's just put it this way: now I can play very large maps.
On the downside, I have to transfer a lot of files from my old computer, and install all programs (well, civ4 and battlefield2, plus getting my old emails out of thunderbird and into a new thunderbird). So, no civ4 for now, unless I hook on my other computer. I'll have to, because of that pitboss you know... I need to find a second monitor so I can set up a network. I tried to install the old HD, but that wasn't really possible because the cable that's attached to the DVD cable is too short
I might bore you with an endless rant on installing computer cooling fans btw
