I'm already planing on it. I've been looking at what it would cost to upgrade my current machine (new MoBo and CPU) and it's really not that much. When is Vista supposed to come out anyway?

I dunno about buying a brand-new MS OS... I'll probably wait and see how it turns out. Same for FS10.
Frankly, if I can figure out a way to run MS FS with Linux, I might go that route. I keep hearing good things about Linux...
whatever; for now I still need to upgrade my rig to get the most out of FS9. Roll Eyes

Watched the Gates webcast last night and I have to say that the MS vision of the future and the role of Vista in it is truely awesome. Watching Gates using and demonstrating the various integrated elements of the 'digital decade' apparently without a script was very impressive because he had complete control and understanding and it all came across totally naturally. A man totally involved in the heart of his business, and I never thought I'd be saying that.

Vista is much more than just another OS and as a member of the older generation I'd say to all you younger guys out there - find out more. You're the people who will be using this new technology and who will be reaping the benefits in your lives. Do yourselves a favour and get your heads out of gaming just for a little while and take a look at the big picture.

You might be surprised. I was.

Technology is advancing. That's why we're still not using DX7 Wink

Lets see, I'm finally figuring out XP after building a "new" Socket A based machine, which only took me 4-5 months to sort out and get up and running as the #1 computer at home. (OK, I'm slow, but I am an official old fart so there). FX-10 and Vista will probably wait till mid '07 after I rectify my error and get an Athlon 64 mobo and cpu. Not to mention a 19" or better LCD display as well. ???

AMD 64 X2-5200, NVidia 9600GT 512, 2048 DDR, 2x250 GB SATA, Saitek X45, Win XP SP3 (Win7-64bitRC1 and FSX on 2nd HD)
