FYI, you can get X-COM running in XP without dosbox. Don't know about windowed mode though; you just have to go into dxdiag and disable DirectDraw until you're done playing.

Indeed, but the problem arise when you have a monitor which is not able to run on a resolution lower than 640*480.And the game in windowed mode looks much prettier...

By the way, I had several looks at the UFO Aftermath forum. Seems the game is quite buggy. Seems Germany and UK are bearing the 1rst wave of release which are completely bug ridden.
An emergency patch was published straight out the door a few days after launch. While it can be argued that it should not have been needed, I believe it is a good sign. It means we are not seeing another UBI-Soft, a well known publisher to throw out games in the wild and not supporting them at all.

And despite the bugs problems, I feel the game is worth interest.
