Sorry if this is a little off-topic,but will FSX (demo and fullversion) have Starforce or Securerom..
Or will MS repeat FS2004's way and only not allow you to copy the game disc?? Just curious....

BTW,I only have XP SP1.(my own personal choice)..Will Microsoft allow me to install the FS X demo (and full game) without upgrading to SP2?? (I'd rather not install SP2).
