I suspect it's all just another attempt by Microsoft to pull more gaming console market share away from Play Station and Nintendo's selections. Don't forget about your subscription to "Live Gold" so you can play it online in your new X Box which MS is trying to bait you into buying. Sure it will work on your PC but nothing like on your X Box and your 52" HD TV. If MS was so interested in Flight Sims they would never had sold FSX to Lockheed Martin in the first place. MS is simply looking at a way to boost market share for X Box.

Lol, Microsoft has in excess of 63 million active users on Xbox,& as you know, is a $1 trillion company. Methinks you are somewhat incorrect to say that MS is baiting you to buy an Xbox, as you have no idea if MFS will be ported from PC to Xbox, or visa versa, & you should also know that Xbox is basically a PC.
Also, you should also know that MIcrosoft did NOT sell FSX to Lockheed at all. They LICENSED FSX to DTG for them to update FSX to be more optimised for newer PC's, ant they sold the intellectual rights of ESP, Microsoft's commercial/professional version of FSX to LM.
Anyhow, please make sure your 'facts' are correct before posting..

I am willing to give FS the benefit of the doubt and the room they need to grow without constantly referring back to 'the good old days.' We have one trailer; lets not rush to judge anything until we see more.
