Just wondering if anyone has had any experience running FSX or FS9 under Windows 8 and how it handled those two programs?

Heh, I'm considering purchasing a full version copy of Win7 x64 (the one that can install on PCs without previous versions of Windows) just to avoid having to install Windows 8 on anything. It seems like a somewhat decent tablet operating system, but I used it a bit on my Mother-in-law's laptop recently and it was frustrating from beginning to end.

May I suggest: WIN 7 - 64Bit - Ultimate plus 8 GB RAM and a good video card.
This is my current PC setup and it rocks.........

I see that there are differences in the amount of physical memory supported (which makes the "Home" versions less appealing), but is there something specific you gain with the "Ultimate" edition that makes it worthwhile over "Professional"?

Unfortunately, I think that's just the upgrade version ... I wish the full version was that cheap!
