FSX is based to run on Windows XP.... Vistas isn't even out of testing yet so that's why it's XP based, kinda hard to build a game on an OS that isn't finished. As for DX10 that will not be out until after Vistas is finally finished. So that all means FSX should play just fine with XP and DX9.... right from the devs at MS. All the extra glam and glitter will be with Vistas and DX10, but that's still a ways off. And graphics cards for DX10 aren't even out or on the shelves yet. So we still have awhile to wait once Vistas is fully finished.... again from the devs.
