Will SimCity 4 / SC Societies work with Micro$oft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit (OEM)?

I have not heard anyone say that it doesn't.

Did you have it installed before you updated with SP1?

I haven't got round to buying Vista yet... I'm just asking if it works with Vista...

There are a number of people on the forum that have been playing SCS with Vista. I presume that SP1 will make no difference as most of them installed before SP1 was available.

This information might prove helpful:
