The last month on GOG.com (http://www.gog.com) has been "Activision month (http://www.gog.com/en/page/month_of_activision)" and a good chunk of those have been old Sierra games.
So, let me revise my previous statement from "Activision has done exactly jack and shit with the Sierra stuff so far" to "Activision has done jack and shit with the Sierra stuff so far, aside from milking up to 25 year old games for minimal effort." "Minimal effort" in this case assumes that Activision had at least some hand in getting the games XP/Vista compatible and that it wasn't solely the effort of the GOG guys themselves, of course. Regardless of whether Activision had a hand in it, I'm sure they're taking a cut of the sales either way.
