Took me 7 years to figure out XP and it still perplexes me at times. Then they go and improve it?  ;D I  may not have enough time to learn another OS for pity sakes.... ;D :-?

...when you were 9 years old, and driving your School Teachers to total distraction with endless questions about Life, the Universe, and everything...
..whilst the rest of us were enjoying the delights of Windows '98, and flying around the skies courtesy of Uncle Bill's Flight Sim '98 and FS 2000.... :)...!

Hey, I was perfectly fine on FS98. After FS2004 I started to ask questions, and by FSX I had started to investigate them for myself

I have a computer dedicated to FS (and a few other games) that uses Win XP. I made it the dedicated "game" computer because it is a few years old, but runs FS9 very well. I also happened to want a notebook computer just because I have always wanted one. So I bought this new notebook and it has windows 7 on it. The difference is night and day! I prefer XP over 7 just for the level of control that you have. Like Fozzer was saying, win 7 seems to be made for the masses that don't know anything about computers. Dumbed down is the term that I would use.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
