In my opinion games will check for DX version on Windows version.
Eventually once enough people have vista they will release DX10 on XP.
Probably about a month before the wine version is ready for XP.
What do you guys think? Am I just being cynical?
I think so. According to everything I have read DX10 is going to be
tied in with the low level stuff even more so than DX9 was, and theres
a lot of new low-level stuff for it to tie into that was not there
with XP.. They would have to backport all of that stuff from Vista to
XP, release it as either a Service Pack 3 or as XP Second Edition
(groan), and then release DX10 for XP..
Now what they could/might do is offer a scaled down version of DX10
for XP, but there wouldnt be much real benefit over DX9.. Just SM4.0
etc
