So you've been playing it through an emulator or in compatibility mode in xp or windows 7??
I used to play the first one all the time on my laptop but since I got a new desktop I've been with starcraft 2. The only thing that I find lacking about it is harvesting gas. Its slower. The game is much harder tho. Still amazing. It also feels good not to have my computer slow down during matches. My laptop sucked.
