DirectX 10 would run only on Windows Vista

[blackleopard92]

Directx 10 based games are around 2-3 yrs away.Current releases would work both on Directx 9 and 10.SO all those issues about playing latest games are wrong.

Also, as for hopes XP having Directx 10 are wrong too, because Directx10 has been written from scratch up, and includes many features which are impossible to transfer to XP.

And the fact that crysis people said that Directx 10 implementation is good that games running on VISTA would be FASTER than those running on XP.
It's hard to believe, but its true.
