Works fine for me, XP professional.
Played the demo, got as far as the H.O. scene. I liked the different "Match3" modes: the first is the group mode as in Season Match. The Lock mode was (at this stage) perhaps the quickest, where the playing area is filled and you clickon groups to collapse the stacks, getting a new screen when there's nothing else to do, and the left-overs are locked until freed by using in a group.
There's a real sense that the programmers are trying to help, which is often missing in such games.
When you gain powerups, they seem to fire off all by themselves, very liberally: quite spectacular sometimes.

Suits me, but seeing the other comments it clearly does not suit everyone! For me, a good way to spend just a few minutes. Each frame is only about 2 minutes (in the early stages).
I recommend this game!

Won't repeat all the other reviews, but I like that the screensaver shows the current state of the farm: you put up a hammock, the screensaver shows the hammock. Also like the interactions between the characters and you the player, complete with your name: and the way you can name the dog.
One problem: while playing the M3 games, I don't have time to read all the comments made at the bottom of the screen by the customers!
It would be nice (though probably much more coding time) if the other farms could have different layouts.
