Apparently some of the games aren't patched to the latest version, but they're mostly older games I think. Unfortunately, they don't guarantee that games will be there for a certain length of time. There was a "cull" a while back where they removed several RPGs (such as Baldur's Gate) and Freespace 2, among others. I joined right before this, so it was weird to see those games there one day and gone the next. It's a decent service if you look at it as a subscription. I'm not sure how anyone would come close to having enough time to play even a fraction of all the games available though.
Oh, and as for Fallout... I recently installed Fallout 2 on WinXP and didn't have any problems.
