No mention of the copy protection.
You don't suppose Microsoft advertise on CNN?

No mention of the copy protection. Why should they mention copy-protection?? It's a standard feature with nearly all games these days. Win XP and Office XP has also got it in the form of 'Product Activation'. FS2000 and FS2002 where also copy-protected. You don't suppose Microsoft advertise on CNN? Yup they probably do. There's also some advertizing within FS2004 itself, in the form of the 'Partners Page' in the Learning Centre. Funny how all the big-jets in FS are all Boeing, product-placement or what?

But they don't require the user to put a disk in the CD to use the software. FS2000 and FS2002 where also copy-protected. FS2002 does not require a disk to play. |

There are a couple of hacks for that, as detailed recently in this forum recently. FS2000 and FS2002 where also copy-protected. FS2002 does not require a disk to play. Yet FS2000 and FS2004 require the key-disk to play -- Paul S |
