Buy now or Buy later

Hmmm..I didn't really read that and doubt it. I think its one program and will run on both, but will utilize features of Vista. I have no idea what those features will be though!

There is no reason to buy any version of FSX until Vista is released.

I won't buy an XP version. FS9 still has plenty of life left.

If there were two versions i'd hold off.

I'll be chucking Vista onto my new FS computer any (once i actually have the money to pay for it admittedly) to get the full capacity of the game, and leave my trusty laptop alone.

Given i have no means of playing any version of FS until December at the earliest, if i get the new machine before FSX for Vista comes out i'll play FS2004 for a while. I just want back in the virtual cockpit.

What are You Guys talking about? ........ 2 versions of FSX ?

I haven't seen anything about 2 versions, and I definitely don't see mention of it in the link above ! ?????????????

"What does this all mean for flightsimmers?

For starters, expect a lengthy amount of time to pass, measured in months, between the release of FSX for Windows XP and the Windows Vista version. Secondly, the question remains of whether the Vista version will be a free upgrade patch, or a separate payware version such as the way Microsoft had two versions of FS2000 and FS2002."

Hope this helps,

There will NOT be 64 bit version of FSX...

You guys can wait until the cows come home, but ACES has not and will not be rewriting the FSX core for 64bit systems. You can take that to the bank.

Somebody is full of it. There are at least four errors of fact in that bit of screed...
