    When asked why his simulator lacked the ability to deploy landing gear, he replied "I don't really need it."

    Too bad it's not really theirs, isn't it? They bought that one way back, but the core code is still someone else's.

    Besides, he wasn't necessarily bashing the sim app, but rather the underlying OS (it bluescreened). It's hardly trolling, when it is so incredibly true, need I remind you. You're like those guys that paint flame decals on their Pinto, and then get pissed when people laugh. Just because you've deluded yourself into thinking M$ products are good or acceptable, doesn't mean that it's not obvious to us that the idea is ridiculous.

    Why don't you stop hiding, and make a real accusation, instead of name-calling and vague innuendo.

    Hmm?
