If it runs on Vista, it will run on 7...

Yeah, there's even an Easter Egg for you to find which lets you run the game in Google Maps.

Did we Brits get something before you Yanks I'm using an upgrade version from Vista and it took me approx 90 mins to upgrade my laptop. I did so with trepidation I might add but it is a work machine so I proceeded as all my data is backed up. Nothing, absolutly nothing went wrong. IT WORKS!

Tried it, the game crashes when you turn satelite view on and combat animations are to be displayed.
