Yeah. I'm left to assume Activision took the game code directly from those collections Vivendi put out in 2006, which were basically packaged with DOSBox and "guaranteed" under XP and earlier Windows versions only (Vista came out a few months later). The images used for the Steam store headers are also taken from Vivendi's packaging.

I'm sure those Steam versions all work fine but releasing any game in 2009 that isn't compatible with Vista is impossibly lazy. And stupid. At least they did place the compatibility warning in a way that can't be missed, I'll give 'em that.
