You mean Vista,the actual OS will be released to the public in a few days or that you will be getting their BETA version in a few?

Mike

The beta will be relased to all people on the beta list, which is included in signing up for the news letter

I went to the site a few minutes ago and am now puzzled.  I went to the Vista area and it said it would be out in early 2007. If thats true, then why are various gaming sites saying FSX will be out Oct 2, 06. Isn't FSX supposed to be enhanced for Vista? Wouldn't that mean Vista would be released first for integration purposes of the two? Has MS just not updated their site in awhile?

FSX will be compatible with XP.  I believe they are making to versions: XP and Vista optimized.  You dont need vista for FSX
