Okay, so the preview video looks...oh so exciting! But what is the significance of the 'Live' concept? What does it bring to what we don't have today ? http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/Don't like the sound of this though:Joystiq.com: 'However, the "welcoming everyone" language combined with the symbolic omission of the word "simulator" gives us an idea of what to expect: a more game-like, streamlined experience.'May months of speculation begin!Eric
