I had an 8xxx series card in a vista machine, it was so bad I replaced the card with my old 7900 and now it works. So Vista and Geforce 8 series cards do not get along with the CM series.
For RT play, having the ? give an indication of unit type sounds like a good idea - I wouldn't want to waste time clicking around to find out.
Using turn based (which is what I do) the clicking around around is not a problem, but it would still be nice to have a ? with a little more info.

*I* like wego for being able to replay it from different angles, periodically pausing RT does not give me that ability. If a periodically paused RT allowed the replay - then no problem.

Does the article say anything about the shrapnel?

From what I read it had a very high viewership. But I didn't watch most of it. I was turned off when one of the people who worked on it said something which I interpreted as "other documentaries are crap since they don't focus enough on the human element but instead on strategy and tactics, events and places". (that is what I took from the comments mind you, and I can be prickly)
> I've yet to meet a true wargamer who is only interested in one period, be it modern, WWII, Napoleonic, or whatever
Lots of ASL players are not only locked into WWII, they are locked into ASL. (lots are not as well of course)
I did that a while back. I took an 8600 card out of my vista machine, put in the older 7900 card and all the games work fine now. (CMBO, CMBB, CMAK, and CMSF)
The problem is with the 8xxx series of cards and Vista. That combo makes any CM game crawl. I took my old 7900 card and put it in my new machine when the 8600 card tanked on CM.
