X2 on Win XP?

Has anyone tried X2 on WinXP yet? I'm going to wait and upgrade straight to Windows 8 when it comes out, but would like to go ahead and be using X2 if it works OK. Thanks. Mark

    I dont reckon I would advise it....

    Overhaul your system first.

    It installed without issues and seems to work just fine on XP here. It isn't supported, so you'll have to accept that and do without any support you might have needed, and it apparently won't be update-able - future versions of X2 tweaked for Win8 will apparently not be installable at all, due to the extent of OS-internal changes, but for this initial release things are basically OK, at least in terms of what I'm seeing here so far.

    im sure it did install fine.the engine may playback as well okay right now.
    but you might not notice it untill you do something like add an effect or how bout mixdown?
    do you really want to take that chance?
