Microsoft Flight

[Shaman]

Lol social browser based game. I want it on my FB :p If it works on my HTC HD2 phone, then I'll grab it for killing boredom when in boring social meetings in bar with boring people, lol.

 

@mods: Lol thx, please delete or merge this thread.

M$ seems intent on appealing to the lowest common denominator.

[Stretch]

Guys, enough spreading FOD. This comes directly from the FAQ:

 

"The new “Microsoft Flight” retains the full fidelity simulation longtime fans have come to expect while offering all players a whole new look and feel..."

 

So you can turn off easy mode, quit yer b*tchin.

[Steel Jaw]

quit yer b*tchin.

 

Nope: M$ owes us BIG TIME for that DISASTER they forced on us, FSX.

[Stretch]

Also, I just want to make sure of something here ... no one actually believes it's going to be a browser-based game, a la Farmville, right? That's just a joke, right? Cuz there's a difference between a social game that uses the LIVE platform and a game that runs in your web browser...

for VISTA as well.

[YorZor]

for VISTA as well.

 

They kinda made that up quite well with Win7 didn't they?

[Steel Jaw]

That depends upon whether you BOUGHT either OS. :megalol:

They didn't give me windows 7? ;) still stuck with vista...

[Feuerfalke]

Don't worry, the changes are minimal.

 

The hype about Win7 being so much better and different than Vista is just :doh:

 

If you want to check that yourself, check the version number of your Windows 7-files and upgrades: It's Windows 6.1 :megalol:

(Win 6 = Vista)

 

The only major difference is the better marketing campaign.

[coolts]

mmmmm faster, less resource hungry. Win 7 is superior to xp --> vista in every single way althiughy upgrading from vista @ £150+ would be a tough sale as i got mine cheap. would'nt go back though

[Steel Jaw]

I would rephrase that and say W7 is just a fully patched Vista.

 

Still superior to XP thogh.

Windows 7 is a Vista patch, but because of all the bad hype about vista, MicroSoft were afraid of anyone buying it so they called it " Windows 7 ":thumbup:

No !!! Vista was a pre-release of Windows 7. It's the well known marketing profit aiming tactics of microsoft. Just to remind you the Windows 98 Millenium Edition just before Windows XP :smilewink:

ME had nothing to do with XP. ME was last DOS based Windows, XP was next Windows in NT line. Vista -> 7 situation is completely different.

[sungsam]

- ME had nothing to do with XP

Yes it has to do with Win98. I said that !

- ME was last DOS based Windows

Not, at all. Even XP based on DOS.

- XP was next Windows in NT line

next Windows in NT line is Windows 2000

[Feuerfalke]

Superiority is a matter of what you want to do with it.

 

For most programs and older PCs/Notebooks, XP is perfect and more suited than Vista/Win7.

 

If you want to use modern, hardware-intensive programs or games, Vista/Win7 is the best choice. That is, if you have the hardware the programs need, of course. ;)

That's the absolute truth ! :thumbup:

[Shaman]

LOL OT

[winz]

- ME was last DOS based Windows

Not, at all. Even XP based on DOS.

No. The difference between XP and 9x line is that 9x line is a 16/32bit hybrid OS that work as an extention of the underlaying dos core. Dos core was written in basic. That's the reason while you can boot back to dos in 9x line and not in NT line.

 

XP uses NT 5.1 Kernel. NT is written solely in C/C++, is a pure 32bit OS, and is not based on dos. It is a totaly different OS architecture.

 

- XP was next Windows in NT line

next Windows in NT line is Windows 2000

 

You can take XP as a next step in 9x line only if you take it from the aimed market perspective (home users).

Source wise is XP core is based on the NT line. XP and 2000 are much much much closer than XP and 98. XP was also the sucessor of 2000 in the market of workstations.

Microsoft Flight

Nice CGI trailer.. shame they don't have any ingame screenshots or video.

LOL who told you that man..I was told by many experts...that Win7 is a patch for Vista's problems...and was to correct them..but Marketing advised Management to rename it to Win7 to reduce the backlash..of " Vista "...

 

So to me what you are saying is that they release the patch which is " Vista " before they released Win7...that makes no sense...Vista was to be a full launch with other updates..but it failed..so MS had to rethink their solution...and did a redo..of whole OP..and named it Win7 to reclaim the public and defuse the dismay of Vista...

 

Thats all I have to say on this...cause I know you believe you will have more infinite wisdom than me...or so you think...but whatever....

 

You believe what you want and I will believe what I want .. and on that note I have some swamp land if you are interested!!!!!! :thumbup::music_whistling:

Hey remember back when Microsoft released that game of theirs, Microsoft Flight, and we all played it and stuff and a bunch of patches and third-party mods came out, and then Eagle released DCS: Warthog, and we all played it and loved it and drooled over the announcement of DCS: Viper, and even after all that you guys were still arguing over the differences between Windows XP and Windows ME?

Well, I believe that M$ has committed to many mistakes in business that eventually people has developed to many parallel theories ! Even IT professionals have deferent theories about M$. It’s to common.

 

I really don't believe that I have an infinite Wisdom, It just happen to be 20 years in IT business.

 

I thought I could express my opinion, and argue without been personally attacked, but lately I have realized that most of the members of this forum lack of at least basic manners.

 

In every thread you can find little brats that insult others without even able to express opinion.

 

Sadly this forum starts to become the kingdom of irony. LOL and bullshit like this are visible everywhere.

 

But actually, You can believe what you want and I will believe what I want.....

And I will not insult you or become an heron to you!

Sorry I fail to see where I insulted you?

 

All I am asking is how you can say " Vista " was made for " Win7", when in fact " Win7 " came out after " Vista ". M$ decided to rename Vista patch to Win7.. so Win7 in actual fact Win7 is Vista but in a different version....so in fact Win7 is a patch for Vista but fully modified..and renamed to Win7, since the bad rap that Vista got marketing decide, two things..

 

First we can monopolize this by making Win7 appear as a different and new OS..so now we can charge more and make more money...without users knowing they are paying for a patch...

 

Second is that if they were to announce " Win7 " as a patch for Vista they were concerned users would avoid it...thinking it would create havoc on their systems on top of the problems they have now...

 

Developers theroy:

 

Idea

develop it

test it

sell it..even if it has bugs/glitches..(developers thoughts....time to make money and we will deal with the bugs/glitches when they arise)

 

90% software/games are sold with some sort of glitch/bug in them and developers send them out there to get users to buy them..to start making money and again like I said developers deal with these glitches/bugs later...I too have been in IT industry for a short time and also took marketing development, if you took offence to what I said well sorry for that just wanted for you to show your theroy of your statement:thumbup::lol:
