A demo can remove that risk.Think about it a moment. The two DVD's you have in your hand may be lent to a friend to install on his/her system. Until they decide to purchase and activate FSX, it would run only in "DEMO MODE" for some period of time before having to be restarted.It would be an incredibly brilliant marketing strategy, and I suspect one they haven't missed...As I said, time will tell! ;)But, you are all probably correct that the "download DEMO" will likely be very small, and limited to only the area around KSEA, in addition to only running for 15 minutes or so before shutting down.

Demo is excellent news! :-jumpy

>Is it going to be 2 DVDs for the demo? We're shooting for <640MB to be able to fit on one CD and to ensure it downloads in less than geologic time . Obviously this means the content will be limited.
