What works
Installing, Basic gameplay.
What does not
StarForce is still an issue, you need to get a crack.
The intro movies cause the game to crash, but they can be bypassed by editing cfg.txt (SkipVideo=true). RTS missions do not seem to work (requires D3D9). I've also had some random crashes, with the last lines usually something similar to this:
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x110020 "heap.c: main process heap section" wait timed out in thread 0012, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x110020 "heap.c: main process heap section" wait timed out in thread 0011, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x110020 "heap.c: main process heap section" wait timed out in thread 000f, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x110020 "heap.c: main process heap section" wait timed out in thread 000f, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000194 flags 0 addr 0x7efacec0
In addition you usually get a lot of random ddraw, d3d and dxdiag errors which donot seem to affect functionality of the game.
Workarounds
What was not tested
I did not try any DLLOVERRIDES, installing DirectX9 native DLL's or such to get the RTS missions working...

Additional Comments
The first entry I added is redundant, as it did not come into my mind to disable the intro movies when I made my first entry.
