Don't have a clue, actually i don't even play Fl anymore, moved on to better games i'm afraid

. looks to me like it's fake i don't know of any server that could handle that many players. the strange thing is the IP is owned/used by MS

yea, odd.

would it be possible that its something to due with xfire? the only friends of mine that have seen it use xfire as well. as far as i know xfire is a microsoft product too.

It could be legit, as a server by MS, just not a game server. It just got posted with the games ones. Their server, wether Windows Updates or other would have that many hits/people on it.

Ah, so now we are trying to join a game of "Microsoft Windows Update" eh?

Perhaps you should try joining it?

@Blackhole- Windows Downgrade has always been a game. The winner is determined thus:

You win if you can download more updates than your pals and not have any of them get interrupted/corrupted

And also, you manage to install all of them without the downgrades continually crashing your system (happened many times to me).

Had it not been for the annoying pop-ups that XP throws your way if you don't give into its insecurity policies, I would have disabled them a long time ago...

i never have the upgrades crash my computer. or be corrupted. or be interupted. maybe microsoft just doesn't like you.

@Shroud, Yes, I'm sure they don't really like me. And yes, I'm also blowing things way out of proportion. ;-)
