    DX 9.0L, more recently labelled DirectX 9.0Ex is NOT DX10 for XP.

    It is DX9 for Vista.

    (This is in the linked article, but so many people are lazy)

    They are all getting so greedy, greed just leads to more piracy, and why not when they are charging so much for games, i remember when i started playing pc games back in 96 that i could pick up a new game and they cost about 10 bucks now 50 and more

    Yep, DX9 for Vista.

    Never the less, i don't believe that DX10 will never be around for XP in one form or another, perhaps not the complete form. There is something called the Alky Project that has something to do with this, but i am not sure what exactly.

    There are suppose to be technical reasons why it can't be done on XP, but i don't buy it. DX10 is Vista by the back door (ie. force gamers to upgrade if you want to play DX10 games), and Vista is DRM by the back door (ie. if you get Vista you will have DRM to deal with, and the more i hear about it, the more i hate the idea of it.).

    lets put it this way then:
    You will never see an official dx10 patch for xp

    And even if someone does come up with a workaround for xp, it wont support dx10 on dx9 cards.

    Never, ever ever ever. No DX10 for XP is Microsofts best decision of the past couple of years (ugh, zune)

    If XP did DX10, Vista would still be a completle POS instead of a good OS

    vista still sucks tough

    remember bill and his campagne leaders saying: vista will be the ultimate gaming platform

    hahahaha
    yeah right. but you have to take in account that you will lose 20-40% of your performance in a game compared too XP

    I'm waiting one more year and then I think I'll do the Vista thing. That should be plenty of time for drive issues to be rather resolved and games will be DX10 optimized.

    I know many are enjoying it now but I don't care to try it, particularly after I've optimized XP and know much about it.

    Oh man, you made my day. Someone got hit by the irony bus.

    First, the intended statement is a prime example of tautology for little reason. Second, do not use a comma before 'but' as it is a coordinating conjunction. Third, I am pretty sure you were searching for the contraction "you're", in place of "you are", instead of the possessive "your".

    At least you started with a capital letter and ended with a full stop. I'll give you a bronze star but you have much to work on if you want to earn the silver or gold stars.
