    Faster and better API > Compability..
    I Think it's just fair that they make it vista-only.

    If I had a DX10 card right now I'd give it a try with the current version of Vista that im running since it has DX10 as well.

    1) Well I can see this. Waiting for the drivers will suck.

    2) If DX10 is in the OS why wouldn't it be out yet? Its there the question does it more or less function or activated in the beta's.

    3) There are games out that run DX10. FSX does, if your in beta for Supreme Commander it has DX10 functionality (don't know if its enabled in the beta though but from the sounds of the devs its there).

    Well i hate how on the 8800 series boxes it says built for vista, but i had to take out my 8800 when i installed the latest vista because it shows as a generic videocard and there is no drivers to work with vista yet so mis advertising there.. My GX2 only has limited support as well and it has been out for over 3 months and still no real driver support.

    Ok, this is what i think, VISTA is a nice looking OS, hogs alot of ram but its nice and expected since people now a days like what looks good on the outside, but its right, 5 years since windows XP, XP was a good OS, and vista just like XP will grow on you in time..........give it till january and feb for some official drivers, so far im waiting on some real drivers for my X-FI as the betas suck, the audioCS doesnt work at all.....nvidia im sure will release some new official drivers soon.

    I'm glad you said that, my 7800GT was artifacting in 3dmark06, but it only seemed to be in the top-right corner lol

    And about D9L, i hope D9L will come out, or M$ really sucks.

    So you say that the API ms made so developers could make better games in windows, is something that could't be for ms only, but for linux too?

    Also. note that ms is making a special dx9L for vista.
    If they did the same thing with dx10 for xp, then they had to make 2 versions each time the dx api gets updated.

    You obviously haven't tried vista yet... Trust me its worth the upgrade, albeit the price is almost a joke (but then again my XP Pro has given me just over 4 years of fun so I think it may be worth it )

    For me its about the Operating system i want to use.
    They make all the games DirectX, so i have to use M$ Windows.
    So i have to buy Windows because of DirectX, which i will not buy.
    If they would make an DirectX layer for Linux and Mac then i would be happy to buy it. DirectX could be a an API within a program to run games, just as Cedega. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedega

    Ontopic:
    I'm curious if there will be much DX10 games in the first year of DX10. Must upcoming games are still DX9. Dont want to upgrade my VGA within 6months

    I would hate to see M$ make it vista only my buddy has on of the final revisions and says theres alot he doesnt like about vista. So i'm not quite sure if I'll be jumping the vista bandwagon but if its the only way to get dx10 guess i'll have too

    Did Nvidia put out any DX10 demos to give us a little taste?
