I could have told them that,vista is why computer sales are down,nobody wants to buy a computer with vista on it,it's the biggest peice of crap they ever made.

ESP is nothing but an empty idea without developers. I think we'll soon learn that it has gone belly-up too.. especially since I think that (the failure of) ESP was the main reason FS was axed after all these years.

Really? Francois, this is one time I'm going to have to disagree. Having been in on the development/deployment of ESP since it's inception, I have a completely different impression... :wave:

Impressions may deceive.... ;-) My information is that ESP was not making the amounts of money for MS that it was promised to do, even though it opened new venues for 3rd party developers. But I'm sure we'll hear what really happened one of these days....

Does anyone know the fate of Train Simulator 2?

 

[Francois]

Yup, same as FS11.

So....

Who is actually running MS?


I think they need Bill Gates back.. Since he has retired, things have really become a bit messed up....

Bill, I always thought they were a bit messed up to begin with :d.
