Hi All,
Considering going over to the dark-side - Vista mainly so I can throw a decent amount of memory at FSX.
Will FSX work okay and what about addons ? Is it a case of some will - some won't ?
Thnx.

Vista 64 works fine for me, and I've had no problem with installers as yet.
I turned off UAC altogether (Administrator Control)
I turned off Aero
I turned off Defender
I turned off indexing as I use Acronis for imaging.
As my computer is a home machine, is not networked and I am not into porn of any sort - even the hard-core stuff like derivatives - I don't need a password.
NOD 32 is my shield and defence!
And when running FSX I stop a number of services such as Nero and printer services, updaters and the like. They all come back on re-start. Some use Alacrity as a service stopper, but I wasn't happy with the experience so I do it myself. However, one of these days I will learn how to create a profile, but that's a long way off with my skills.
