Hello everyone I'm expecting a new rig to come soon (see my sig) and it comes with Windows Vista,and I'm looking forward to finally be able to play FS2004 in max settings,anyway I was just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to answer these questions for me.

1.)Are most free FS2004 Aircraft/Airlines add-ons compatible with Windows Vista.
2.)Does Windows Vista come with either Notepad or Wordpad in order to open & edit .cfg files.
3.)I've heard downloading aircraft add-ons on Vista is a pain in the ass,how is it exactly and what do you have to do differently from XP to get them into FS2004?
4.)What are some tips to keep FS2004 running as smooth as possible on Vista.

That's basically it,if you could answer those that would be great as I'm not too sure about Vista.
