doesn't matter microsoft supporting or not, the latest virus probably not developped for xp either, I havent even been using an antivirus for ages^^ seems the best technique is still dodging, or using systems incompatible with virus^^ people use what operating system they want to use and if they are using BW on XP, new patch breaking it may not be fair, you bought BW it works on XP
that said if nobody minds and its necessary for some kind of improvement..

I think a few people are being hysterical and overblown on the UI in general, but either way blizzard seems to be responding to the flaws and working quickly to fix them.

Your computer is a security risk for everyone. It is not supported. It will not be supported by any gaming company ever again, you and your 12 remaining xp users are just walking exploits. It would be a waste of blizzards time and money to design anything with you in mind. Upgrade your os.

XP is on 4.83% of desktops worldwide as of Jan 2017 but this will affect developing countries the most.Peru always had a decent BW userbase, places like that that can't really afford to upgrade.Funny that i kept this old XP machine going because i couldn't get the graphical bugs out of my windows 7 machine while playing brood war.There is nothing unusual about keeping an old computer around for playing a near 20 year old game.Your concerns are hyperbole.

Developers sounded pretty receptive to the ideas and bugfixes but i doubt this will drop next week onsidering the amount of work that needs doing.Doubt they have a big team on this.

I think they said the team is like 20 or 25 people, sounds like a fair size for the project to me!

It's a modest but fair size development team, but it's still far smaller than Blizzard's other teams. I think Hearthstone was even running on over 70 developers.
I do love their transparency and candor so far.

I don't think they could make C&C any worse than what EA did to it... C&C3 was pretty good still one of my favourite games but RA3 was quite disappointing in the end and I like to pretend C&C4 doesnt exist at all.
according to greg black.. and at this point i can't see him BS-ing... EA gave them 11 months to make C&C3 and a little less than that to make RA3.
all these people moaning and whining about Blizzard... i'd love to have see them be C&C fans and watch what EA did to it.

So excited, hope it won't be too expensive though! Not completely impressed with the new interpretation on some of the classic sprites but looks good overall.

Hold on a second I love what I see only low persistence is missing what gives BLIZZARD.
I Cant see the game being played in 20 some years without something like low persistence, I'm sensing a lack of vision.
EEP SCAN~ SWEEP SCAN~ Not Enough Energy
Cmon guys where do you see this remake in 20 years, besides the history books.
This kind of thing could have been a impressive feather in your cap being able to say 1st! competitive video game playable under low persistence.
WELP too late riot and valve are all over it by now [>_<]
Is this lack a vision more about remaking the game on the cheap, cutting corners and saving money instead of flushing the remake out as the sporting game. Things like low persistence not included really makes me think somethings are missing.
Talking about on the cheap SERIOUS question for blizzard.
Any past superstars helping with the remake, maybe input from the likes of JULYZERG or NADA or BISU as in real qualified guys from every race with worthy opinions to share who just wont play anymore as not to contaminate the field?
I'm hoping this remake is the start of a esport worldwide supported and ruled by the developer. It scares me that this remake not be allowed to be screwed over by Kespa type influences which aren't always on the same page.

Any news on a release date yet? Summer is almost here. I know this is quite a low key release per Blizz standards, but I would have thought they would give a release date at least at least a month or two before the game drops.

There's some content on the Starcraft website that 'unlocks' on the 12th called "The First War" - could be something in the ways of a release date or something.
