Looks like a lot of people are downloading those, I couldn't get the US mirrors to work. I got the PlanetMirror one working by clicking through, though.

::waits for them to complete::

Oh yeah, they were pretty amazing. The shockwave was pretty cool. And I'm still impressed by how intuitive their level editor is.

Yup, I'm in the same boat. My hope is that some open sourcers get together and find a way around such restrictions.

You dont have to get vista to play it, but it wont look nearly as good in dx9.

the video i've seen of the DX9 version still looks mindblowingly good.

Yes, DX10 is Vista exclusive.
