March 20, 200620 yr Hi,Just did a brief search on the subject of the new version of FS to be released. Was watching this video featuring Bill Gates and one of his boys spruiking their new upcoming 'Vista' OS and lo and behold they showed a video clip of FS10 being played on an X-Box 360!(I certainly blinked twice!).The clip shows a Helicopter taking off from a small cruiser on the coast - you can see seagulls flying about. Not much of a clip to entice me to buy it to be honest.Take a look at it here; http://www.microsoft.com/winme/0601/25904/...Keynote_MBR.asxIt is a bit of a long movie download (for adsl connections only I would think) the clip is almost halfway through it I think.Just wondering if anyone else on this forum has heard any more about what features will be included in this new version?Cheers,
