I am not a programmer, so  I was wondering if those with more knowledge could help.  Is there any way that MS could easliy change the code in FS with a patch so that when Vista and DX10 arrive, FSX would  suddenly run much better than on XP?  Being that FSX was supposed to be used as a premier game to illustrate the potential of Vista, isnt MS worried if FSX doesnt look and perform substantially better with Vista?  Other than the speed provide by DX10, how will the Vista architecture improve FSX?  Todd

You can bet your a$$ that MS will issue a patch as soon as Vista comes out to take advantage of the new OS...

In your opinion, what will be changed in the code that will make it run more efficiently?  Or will it be the operating system itself that provides the boost?  Todd

They will unlock the program so that it will run well on Vista Forcing you to up grade "We are Microsoft resistance is futile."

MS said that FSX is the flagship for Vista. So in short, yes.

If MS fails to pull a rabbit out of their hat when VISTA and DX10 are released, I fear thar FSX will go the way of CS3 an it just might cause the demise of MSFS.

As it stands now, MS took way to many steps backwards to take a couple of steps foreward.

They heard yesterday on an NPR radio segment that Microsoft has issues a release date for Vista of Janualry 30, 2007.
