Interesting article here:http://www.everyjoe.com/windowsvistaweblog...eatly-improved/I wonder if these kernel changes were incorporated into the beta or if this will be in a later service pack.I have not looked at every thread here, but is the consensus regarding Windows 7 and FSX is that it provides very little performance improvements?

I can't answer your original question but I did notice a major improvement visually in FSX. I've never used Vista though, I was always an XP guy. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far (knock on wood). I didn't finish installing all the add-ons yet though.
