All my original copies of the games work on my pc (windows 7), which answers nerd's question.
Yes, I had every C&C original, arh fond memories, the many nights I wasted playing C&C 1 as a kid. The only problems I have with my original copy (as I have both the original and the Decades copies) is that the C&C1, RA 1 etc have issues with the videos.
Other than that its like being a kid again.
