DX10

What does everyone know about the new DX10 coming out? I guess we have to start begging, borrowing or stealing to get a card to support it? We do not have to go to DX10 for now I guess but in the near future we will be forced into it?

I doubt game makers would force you to use it and alienate all their customer base on DX9 and Windows XP. MS may try and use it to force you onto WIndows Vista, but in the end I think they will lose. Expect a DX10 upgrade for XP because of it.

I forgot about Vista coming out. I hear it will not be ready for Christmas and they will not send it out untested and poor computer sales for Christmas. XP will be around for a good while I suppose.

I think I'm going to hold off on Vista till mid next year. I hope Subman is right on the Dx upgrade for XP.

I'm sure Xp will be supported for at least the next 4 years. Windows 98 was just left unsupport what, a year ago?

I stick to XP, dont have the money for vista and I feel no need for MS poking around on my PC in new ways......
