Here is my first ever post on this board. You'll have to scroll down a little and notice that I wasn't registered yet.

After reading this lengthy thread, I have to admit I have no clue what some people around here says about UFO being hard. It's only hard if you fire yourself in the feet!

Just never overload your men, always keep time for a snapshot + kneeling everyturn and never rush your men into battle. I should say that deploying your men as a team which try to cover eachother while being spread enough to avoid heavy grenade casualty is good also, but really obvious IMHO.

As for the saving every turn thingy, it's about the lamest thing I ever heard! I agree saving everytime you get in and out of a mission is advisable (because even with the right hardware back in the old days the game was not 100% stable), but saving every turn and reloading only to get 0 death is exactly the same as cheating.

I also have to say that playing Xcom: Apocalypse under XP is not easy, but can be done. If you want I can dig up some old links on walkthru on how to do it. I played that game for years, and I have XP.
Edit: What's wrong about UO? If it wasn't because I don't have that kind of cash to waste on multiplayer games, I would still be playing it...

Tough now that I'm thinking about it, I would rather waste money on Laser Squad Nemesis instead.
