Phil Taylor who has been one of the leading developers in the ACES group at Microsoft is leaving to work at Intel. His last day was yesterday. In Phil's blog he says that the position offered to him was one of those opportunities that must be taken. It sounds as though he will be working on those graphical processing elements that are complete magic to me. Phil seems to think he might interface with the ACES group in the future in some ways as FS11 continues to be developed. I can only feel that in the long run this will be a good thing for the FS community and that the next stage of both hardware and software will lead to some pretty exciting things for us simmers.
It also looks as though I will have to continue to maintain at least one Windows machine for just simming. As many you may know all of my computers run Linux. I have a couple of them setup as dual boot machines so that I can run Windows on those rare occassions when I need it. The one I am using now is my FS machine so it has Windows XP and Linux on it. I can boot to either one but the only time I enter the Windows world is to use my sims.
