The current preview allows you to run a number of examples from the DirectX SDK on Windows XP.

This is totally useless. You can easily rip DirectX 10 from Vista and put it on your XP. The problem is the DX10 Display Driver (Nvidia/ATI). You need them to redesign their Vista driver to fit in XP as well because of the LDDM bullshit. The main problem is with the Display driver (and possible law suits). Having DX10 runtimes is useless since you need the DX10 driver extensions.

From what i remember lamesoft stated that ther will be no DX10 for XP.

I think if Vista wuld be a real good system with good driver support and no performance drop compared to XP , people wuld go and get Vista , but since we all know at what position Vista is now , they wont give us DX10 for XP , to force upgrade of OS + upgrade of hardware in most user cases .

Unless the entire world starts screaming and whining there will be no SP3 for XP either.

I'm sure we all know the reason DX10 isn't coming to XP - basically MS was everybody to upgrade to Vista to kept the money coming in. I'm also sure it would possible to have DX10 for XP - there just isn't the will to do it.

For the moment at least I think games will come in both DX9 and DX10 versions - at least for a few years.

Also MS have said SP3 is coming - and I reckon it will eventually - prob. Q1 2008 as a goodbye to XP.

Maybe is because the coding of Dx 10 are not compatible with vista

I tryed it ... really good
