Which of the subject editions of FSX (Delux or Gold) are better and more compatable with Vista?

I believe that FSX Gold is just FSX Deluxe bundled with the Acceleration Expansion pack

Delux offers more than just Accel :
- More missions
- More detailed scenery
- More detailed cities
- More A/C
- And something else, probably ;)

Acceleration is the expansion pack FOR FSX. Without FSX, Acceleration won't run at all... ;)

I seem to recall that this problem is hardware related. Acceleration won't install unless you have the hardware required to run it.
