Microsoft Corp., the world?s largest maker of software, will not release next-generation graphics application programming interface (API) called DirectX 10 for the currently shipping Windows XP operating system (OS), instead, the company will keep the new API strictly for the forthcoming Windows Vista OS, despite earlier assumptions about DirectX 10 for the XP.

Your comments are stupid, You said that you will switch to linux because the lack of support of XP for DirectX10 but... 1. Linux Have no DirectX (any version). 2. Linux have no great games. Is evident that DirectX and Games are not your speciality |
