I'm looking forward to this... haven't used a Flight Sim for quite a while.

FSX is still around, though it's still active servers seems to be an absolute shitshow (basically GTA with planes). Don't expect realism, just a bunch of noobs or pros that faf around anyway.

Actually, I think FS has been one of the best software products MS has ever produced.

Agree...   One of the reasons they are getting back into it is probably to get "brownie points" for having at least one product that is indisputably awesome!  :D

Microsoft hardware is often rather good and durable as well, e.g. web cams, mice, etc.

 Neat thing about MS FS - a number of years ago, there was a farm down the hill from where I lived that the people had a light plane (only ever caught quick glances once in a while - A Cessna 152 I think). They had a grass field alongside the barn they stored the plane in. There is/was some sort of FAA rule int he US that if the field could support landings, it had to be listed on charts - my best friend has a pilot's license and explained it all to me once. And whatever version of Flight Simulator I was playing at the time - had this property in it! I could take off from the local commercial airport, and fly to effectively my neighbor's place. That always impressed me - not only were all the big cities and known landmarks in the game, but even these little private fields were included as well. That's pretty comprehensive.

This is the only piece of mickey softwarez I would consider buying. One thing bothers me, I see this as a  further move to their software as a subscription model. Nothing Microsoft does is fully benign in intent.
