I went over to the X-Plane website and looked over the system specs that
one needs to run it. And it looks like I won't be able to take part in
this little experiment. As my game machines are from 2007 and they just
don't have enough power to pull it off. X-Plane v9 full install was
60GB. I hate to imagine how large v10 would be.
So I am just going to take your word for it. But I guess it does make
sense, since Windows 7/8 are far better at taking advantage of newer
hardware while XP isn't. But then again, newer isn't always better in
all cases.
