[color:"orange"]Thanks for putting starforce on BD!!![/color]
Copy protection is largely the choice of the producer, not the developer. With the initial problems Larian had with Starforce, I'm sure they would have preferred something else.

How exactly is Larian suppose to support an operating system released some time after the game was finished?
Microsoft changed how drivers are installed (among other things) with the 64 bit version of Windows, which breaks backward compatibility with the 32 bit version of Starforce, as well as a multitude of printer and scanner drivers, etc. This driver problem is well known, though games do not generally specify what type of copy protection is used (if any) on the box, so you would have to check compatibility (as with any new OS for software designed and tested on the previous version).

While I am not unsympathetic to your desire for things to just work, there is a reason why the leading edge of technology is also called the bleeding edge. If you want the latest stuff (especially with such a significant update), then expect there to be compatibility problems.
If you want to play older games, setup a dual boot system with a previous version of Windows (or get a second system).
