Having run into so many windows versions upgrade problems working on 
both flight sim and xplane over the past 10 years I highly suggest that 
any vista issues be IGNORED  until at least 20 % of the population 
actually has it AND the first vista patch has been issued by microsoft.

It's just a programmed plan of obsolence by microsoft that drains 
development from other issues.

I have a strange feeling that the recent privacy intrusions regarding 
unauthorized computer version checking and reporting to microsoft in 
recent windows xp "patches" and the daunting vista hardware requirements 
and they widespread availability of free "try it without installing it" 
linux boot cdroms will actually prompt a large number of people to 
finally switch to linux at long last.

Interestingly new releases of flight simualtor since dos 5.5 have 
actually been one of the primary motivators for people to upgrade their 
computer systems.

Might I suggest making flightgear work well on linux might actually do 
the same for linux?

But first priority should be to make flightgear work well on the systems 
out now.
