Half-Life PC question

I am thinking about getting Half-Life. Although I'm not sure if it will run correctly because I have Windows XP. I've heard that they are not compatible for some. Has anyone experienced any problems with running Half-Life on XP??

Just had a LAn party running XP, Half LIfe, Counter Strike and DOD worked great. Make sure you have the latest Sierra patch and video card drivers. It should work great

There's an auto updater included in the program. I find it downloads pretty slow though, so you're best to get it elsewhere. Make sure you have current video card drivers.

That's about it. It's easier then most people think. I don't know why people think computer gaming is so hard.
