DX10 update for XP?

As Vista isn't exactly selling like hot cakes at the moment, do you think MS will be encouraged to release an update for XP so that we can use DX10? Personally I can't wait to see FSX in all its glory! But I don't want to have to buy Vista to do so.

I doubt it. If anything, DX10 is about the last thing that would get more people to buy Vista, and MS isn't about to miss their chance there.

I would consider switching to Vista in a couple of years if gaming really migrates to DX10, but for no other real reason. If DX10 comes out for XP, then hot damn, I don't think I'll ever jump ship
