Jay - I recommend you upgrade your system at the hotel to this version if
you have not already. I think you'll be impressed.

Other than the fact that it requires XP or Vista... And is picky about
video cards -- the *one* machine that I have that has the misfortune to
have come with XP installed upon it will not run MS FS X because of the
onboard video not being supposedly compatible... Luckily I found this out
by downloaded the demo instead of paying for the actual software...

For any kind of graphics-intense simulation such as this you should expect
to require a graphics card update, and, above all, make sure you've updated
your machine to the latest video drivers because the stuff that comes
bundled with the computer usually isn't current. I have having to upgrade
hardware to keep up with software, but that's the way things tend to go.
