Default I hate you, Microsoft.

I'm sorry, but I refuse to cripple a $2300 gaming rig just so it will meet some arbitrary requirement for one of your games, however desirable. That's like if they had forced people to 'upgrade' to ME when it came out so they could play Counterstrike.

find the patch

but exclusively for the Windows Vista operating system (though this limitation can be removed by a patch). The game was ported by a small team at Microsoft Game Studios (codenamed Hired Gun) who worked closely with Bungie Studios.

That's because Bungie used to be a Mac developer.
And for the record, I had a Mac back when Marathon came out, and I have one again now for business.

Since console titles (and console interfaces) in general blow, I have no plans to buy a PS3 or Xbox360 to play the one or two game titles released for each that I would actually be interested in.

Also, as a general rule, I never pay for any game that I have to crack to make it run, especially given my luck with software like that since there's no guarantee it'll work, and no support if it doesn't.

8] Microsoft will be offering patches to remove the nude content and is revising the boxes to reflect this. The nudity was a photograph of a male mooning (presumably of a Microsoft or Bungie employee) which appeared as a ".***" error when using the map editor in Halo 2 for Windows Vista

that right there makes it almost worth buying it imo.
