  nay, you are merely DirectShow 10, for _I_ am DirectX 10. I am your father.

  Yeah, I have some thoughts on that. Such as, "extremely unlikely".

  I'm sure it's not that simple..

  If DX10 is too much bounded into Vista there probably want be any DX10 for XP. Backporting seem a bit away now...

  I don't know about the actual situation so it is just a conclusion, by me and I just read stuff. :)

  I saw some really cool stuff from nVidia at the Vista launch earlier today, or yesterday I mean. DX10 has new features that will be cool in gameplay but those cards cost around €500 and it is outside my budget. Not sure why but the guy seemed to favour Farcry as a game to use the features available.

  If you code it they will come. By they I mean people who only want to buy Vista cause of "the new games".

  It would require a complete repackage of DirectX though, which is illegal.

  DirectX 10 - XP cannot run DirectX 10. Get Vista. Get the latest directX SDK
