The death of IPX protocol [IPX + UDP Fix]
#3
IPX may not be the biggest concern. Our luck may be running short when it comes to DirectX and backwards compatibility. I tried the Win 7 beta some months ago, and no matter what I did I could not get Diablo to use the right palettes. Is anyone running Diablo on Win 7? Well sooner or later, I guarantee these graphics methods are just not going to be handled right anymore, and there is no financial incentive for Blizzard to do an update.

If you have strong nostalgia for old games like Diablo, Baldur's Gate, etc., don't be too quick to trash your old junker computer when you upgrade to a new one. Keep that glide video card or the Soundblaster with EAX. Put the box in a corner some where, hope you don't have a hardware failure, have some fun while it lasts. Someday we may be playing all these games on emulated environments, but who knows what features they will or won't be able to support properly?
