Note that the post where he indicated he was trolling "for fun" has disappeared... along with mine, which was saying something along the same lines as what you just said. Random post deletion FTL.

The sea looks nice in the short teaser, but I'll hold my judgement until I see what Oleg comes up with. Who knows what SoW will look like with all the bells and whistles.

Yes the water does look very good in the Microsoft teaser, but Microsoft has a history of grossly over hyping the graphic quality of their sims. I know I won't believe any of this until I see actual ingame videos from users.

If it's a reworked FSX that won't be too bad. I don't expect a combat sim. I do expect the new sim to be coded for multi-core processors. I think MS got faked out when FSX came out. No doubt the thinking was that Intel would come out with a 6ghz processor one day so that FSX could be run in all it's glory. Psyche!!

MS did close it's flight sim department some time ago, iirc. So jumping back in must be in the accountants' realm of practicality. Now if they accidentally spit out CFS4 I might be interested in buying it.
Flyby out

yeah .. but that old lot were wasting time and money trying to build an actual simulator, whereas what Accounts and Marketing wanted was superficial and pretty and runnable on any generic PC with built in graphics (you know like magic School Bus with wings). They just had to go :D

No sense to get any excitement until something happens. One thing is sure, MSFT will keep you informed. MSFT will promote the wazoo out of it as soon as they have more to tell.

wow looks really good and they are already on the marketing trail, I imagine this will be on the shelves sooner than we think.
