So Mush, any update on the Windows XP case, yet?

[Wiedzmin89HUN]

I don't know what's going in here. Anywhere I see the system ruquiments, I can see the compliment with the Win XP. You know, it's funny, because, the first announcment contained the Win Xp support, but now the cancelled then? Mush, I don't want to be rude, or something like that. Just wondering, about this thing.
Think about it, once, the dev. team, says "the game will support the win xp", then, they cancel it, and you posting it. This part not have problems, but what happenst to those users who don't read this forum. They can see the official announcment wich contains the xp support, and when they want to install the game, they can't because it's not support it.
Sorry for my bad english
I hope we will have the answer soon.
Update, I chacked the Steam:

so from what i read so far....i am planning on buying this from ubishop the deluxed edition and i assume it uses the uplay system... my brother is getting it on the steam version, what does this mean between us? since im using a different system...any info on this would be nice. will i be able to party with him and play with him or is the uplay and steam version of the game completely different versions? couldnt i simply add my copy to steam but i read somewhere that it doesnt use steamwork with the retail edition of the game... errr im so confuse about this.. someone plz help explain this to me since ubisoft devs dont give us any info at all regarding the pc version.

The Steam version of the game will be identical to the Ubi Store version.
One of you will just download/update from Steam, where as the other will do so from Ubisoft.

There is still no answer yet about the XP case

The steam version has one other bonus map and four bonus camos, partly why I cancelled my Ubishop order in favour of Steam. The other being the ability to download, rather than rely on it being sent by post :s

You can get the exact same product, the Deluxe edition, on the Ubi Store as well.
It's also a download.

ive canceled my box order with EB games and gone for digital too.

Hmmm, might just be the UK store then, when I pre-ordered the deluxe version, there was no option for download, only the standard edition offered that. The deluxe edition didn't have the second exclusive map or the 4 extra camo's either on the Ubi shop. Never mind, way happier buying it on Steam anyhoo

EDIT: Just found the deluxe, yeah you can download that and it's the same extras as available on steam...Steam versions still £10 cheaper, so yay steam!

[skywarp00]

ya steam is the way to go. Cheaper price by $10 in most countries/regions. Don't have to worry bout losing manuals or boxes with serials and can re download the game anytime u format
