Diablo II just had its 9 year anniversary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_II), and you can still connect to Battle.net and play. The last patch was released just over a year ago. I'd say your odds are good.

If Windows 7 Fails, Citrix (Not Linux) Wins 638

Posted by kdawson on Friday January 30, 2009 @12:08PM from the expedient dept.

Julie188 writes "Microsoft blogger Mitchell Ashley, who has been using Windows 7 full-time, predicts that Windows 7 will fail to lure XP users away from their beloved, aging operating system — after all, Windows 7 is little more than what Vista should have been, when it shipped two years ago. But eventually old PCs must be replaced and then we'll see corporations, desperate to get out of the expense of managing Windows machines, get wise. Instead of buying new Windows 7 PCs, they could deliver virtualized XP desktops to a worker's own PC and/or mobile device. Ashley believes that Citrix's Project Independence has the right idea."

Exactly. I mean, if someone needs technology like "headlights" to help them seeing at night, I don't want to drive anywhere NEAR them. Give me a dark, manly road any day.
