October 24, 200619 yr Well expressed Mike. You've captured the whole thing as I see it and eloquently too. And Allcott's post also makes important points which need saying.
October 24, 200619 yr "However, with the invent of things like ATC in FS9 that is the same as FSX but never available in 2k2 there were reasons you "could never go back" to 2k2 after you installed FS9."ATC first appeared in FS2002 ;) Quote from MS Flight Team Lead: "We’ve made some guesses"
October 24, 200619 yr Eventually MS will start learning to maximize the NOW and upgrade for the future instead of maximizing the future and minimizing the now...if that is not the cart before the horse, I don't know what is.One of the best quotes that I've read.
October 24, 200619 yr At least FSX could be called future proof. Your not gonna get h/w outstripping the performance of FSX;) RobRainy England
