ExtremeTech installs and launches 22 popular game titles - both old and new - to see which ones run on Windows 7, and which ones don't. And then there are games which do run but not without issues. Either way, the article provides gamers a glimpse into how Windows 7 affects gaming performance and if your favorite gaming title will run or not. They conclude: "We encountered relatively few problems, even with some of the older games. And given how sleek Windows 7 feels compared to Vista, we're looking forward to moving to the new OS as soon as it's released."

When will MS forgo the hacked-in compatibility layers and ship with optional "compatibility VMs?"
