Sapozhnik posted:i mean this is kind of the problem with building upon vertically-integrated microsoft stuff in general isn't it "microsoft stuff" is a large category. you should feel quite confident building on some things (e.g. .net, typescript, mssql) and less so other things. taking a dependency on any technology, microsoft or not, always carries risk. it might not catch on, it might be obsoleted quickly by some newer thing, or it might be acquired by oracle. with microsoft stuff, if the thing survives through a few versions and also sees significant adoption within multiple microsoft orgs, that's a safe bet (but it's still a bet).

Every flight simulator is already full of paid add-ons. The FSX/X-Plane/DCS model where the game comes with some number of planes to start you out and then each new one is 20 to 80 dollars depending on complexity is actually one of the most benign; in things like war thunder or il-2 you have to play multiplayer matches in order to unlock basic poo poo like incendiary ammo or long range fuel tanks. new flight simulator has already cut out a huge chunk of the addon market by having what looks to be a higher resolution, more accurately modeled world than ever seen before. I will be fine buying the program and then spending more money now and then for a specific new plane I'd like to fly. The real concern is that, given the reliance on streaming data, they might make it a subscription service

the bing maps api calls will be flagged as consumer usage in order to offset the hosting costs and to improve the consumer engagement numbers for bing. kind of like accidental start menu searches.
