Just re-installed FSX after a new system build. But when trying to activate it, which I find an anachronistic as they no longer support Flight Sims, and AFAIK, have dismantled their links to Flight Sims, and yet they hold sway on activation. And why should I have to go through all this stupid nonsense when I have purchased the FSX Gold disks? It's like buying a Chevvy outright for cash and each time you carry out an oil change, you have to get the ignition software released by activating it with GM!
Just does not make logical sense. Is this a case of the dying tentacles of the Microsoft octopus still clinging like limpets in today's world where it will not be long before Microsoft goes the same way as other monopolies?
I'm well and truly pxxxed off with this activation nonsense.
