Saitek X-36 Flight Sysrem. This bogey has TMSR heat seeking missiles written all over it. Significant shipments/restocking/island displays of Saitek X-36 Flight System occuring at CompUSA (NYSE:CPU). Newly added to Saitek X-36 packaging is 'seamless integration/compatability with Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Flight Simulator'...not to mention Saitek's focused and clear understanding of the internet and its branding/perceived value/competitive advantage/product differentiation... implications saitek.com ...Again, as previously cited on this thread, this represents a possible substantive threat to TMSRs FCS franchise, esp. in the event of a MSFT Saitek acquisition. However, we believe a brilliant preemptive strike and marketing coup would be for TMSR to immediately announce/ship a Force-Feedback Strike Fighter FCS as a standalone stick and as a high-end 'Flight System' (with attack throttle and rudder pedals)...MSFT is now sitting on huge SideWinder Force-Feedback Pro's...a TMSR F-F Strike Fighter stick and Flight System would have a significant pejorative impact on MSFTs F-F SideWinder Pro and anything MSFT and Saitek may be up to, in our opinion....
