Quoting from my memory of an FSX Aces team member's comment here, I believe the reason MS says it's "incompatible" is that it was never tested on W7 by Microsoft, that's all.

HelloWrong againThere are four official retail versions plus two service packs.

Indeed, I forgot about the non-Deluxe version of FSX, so there's five versions (not six).

When someone comes into the forum and says they have FSX Gold installed, the more perceptive amongst us understand fully what he means.

You're confused: You think that just because you know what it means, that others do so too.

We could all be totally pedantic in our discussions on the forums but it would not help anyone, would it ?.

Having personally helped out folks asking if they needed to buy FSX Gold when they already had Acceleration, I'm quite certain the clarification that FSX Gold is not a version of FSX is rather useful, wouldn't you agree?

Here are the four official versions, please ignore the one in the bottom right if if it does not match with your version of reality.

You must be running low on arguments to post like this...Cheers,- jahman.

You are apparently correct, Paul. I am now running "Deluxe" under Win 7 24 bit and it's working great.Dewey
