Please add support of Windows XP\2003 (and so ReactOS too) into GOG Galaxy.

GOG = Good old Games. Why not support old good OSes then?

+1, I agree!

Why 2003?
As far as I know there's only server editions of 2003.

But Galaxy runs on my XP without any problems.

EDIT:
Is GOG going to change it once Galaxy is out of beta?

I'm pretty sure you need SP3 and VC++ 2010 libraries. Can't help more as my XP is heavily stripped down.. I'd suggest Dependency Walker if you'll experience more problems with Galaxy on XP.

I personally think it's the other way around: oldies running like a charm on new OS, distros etc.
But hey that's just me :P

This reminds me of when someone got an old Apple ][ OS working in MESS and then ran an old build of MAME ON it...

I think it was the guy that actually did the programming work to get that version of MacOS working in MESS putting it through its paces and generally pissing about
Emuception!

GOG isn't "Good Old Games" any more, and hasn't been for quite a while, it's simply GOG.com. Also, their mission started as pretty much "get old games running on modern systems", and XP is ancient by now.

2003 will never be supported, nor will any other server edition of Windows. Besides, are you certain it doesn't run on XP? ReactOS isn't exactly full-featured by a long shot yet.

The Apple II didn't run Mac OS, and it wasn't a Macintosh (neither did -- or was -- the Lisa, even if its interface looked and behaved largely like the early Macintosh System) . The Macintosh was released in 1984, and the accompanying operating system was simply called System until it gained the name Mac OS with version 7.6 in 1997.

XP is so old at this point that not even Microsoft is willing to support it. I'm not sure it could handle Galaxy with the general hardware that XP is designed to manage.
