Doug,

I tried to install the demo without having SP2 and got a dialogue box saying that I needed SP2 before I could continue.

Perhaps you got enough automatic updates without needing to formally install SP2?

In that case I might have already had it without realising it. ???

The whole point of the deluxe edition is for microsoft to make extra money.

14 GB of space isn't bad conisdering it has scenery for the whole world. For X-Plane the global scenery alone is 60 GB.

So what? They're giving us the SDKs and that user-controlled Tower function for MP in the deluxe. That's something you'll never see in the standard version. The Standard was made for those who don't have deep enough pockets.

Not everyone wants a SDK. By releasing two versions they appeal to more people and make more money. If they calculated that releasing one version would make more money they would release one version.

I suppose it is a good deal if you want to make aircraft or scenery or whatever. Extra $15 for an SDK. Third party software would cost a lot more.
