It was never going to be. That rumour was started by an online tech web site and retracted the next day. I posted the links in here ages ago.

M$ is standing behind the wish to have everyone upgrade to VISTA by not allowing DX10 games to run on XP.

DX10 is not just DX9 with a couple of extra features. It's part of a significantly different graphics/OS architecture. It is not the simple bolt-on job too many people simply assume it would be. DX10 on XP would require major surgery.
