Direct3d is a layer between the application (or game) and the hardware. AFAIK, it handles 3D and 2D renedering (something of the likes of GDI).

. what you people experience is called as vendorlock-in ,where you lacks other options.so ,keep supporting other open standards like opengl.

So you mean to say when Nokia announces another model it puts serious doubts in their other models? When Apple announces Snow Leopard, it puts serious doubts in Leopard? When KDE announces KDE 3, it puts serious doubts in KDE 3? You guys make it sound like MS committed a crime by announcing what their roadmap is

He don't mean that... What he mean is, DX10 is not yet well established n M$ going to wear DX11 suits.... THIS seriously put double in 10 !So you mean to say when Nokia announces another model it puts serious doubts in their other models?

How long do you expect one technology to last? 10 years? 20 years? 30 years? Graphic cards are launched practically everyday, new processors & laptops are announced day-in day-out. So if Microsoft decides to show what it is working on for the future means that the present is in doubt? If any other corporate house were to show some concept or features of what to expect 4 years from now, people clap and when MS does the same, it puts doubt in the present products! Awesome.

When Sony announced PS 3 did the game developers stop PS 2 game development? Microsoft is going to announce some features & give info of what to expect in DX 11. DX 11 is expected to come out at least 3 years from now, that's minimum. Till then will game devs shut down their PCs and stop developing? Does announcing some features of a product that will be released 3 years from now mean that everyone should stop developing for what is available today? Or according to you people should not develop or experiment on something new and advanced till 5 years after releasing something?
According to your logic, all Linux distro makers should NOT work on, develop & announce anything about a new version for 5 years!

I don't mean that... There are doubts because the failure of Microsoft in case of Vista.. They not given what they promissed to give. And people (me?) thinks that, they should give more stress to establish their DX10 in market well than developing DX11.
And why they think, there should be DX11 ?? There is much scope in DX10 still.. ( just like SP1 for Vista)

Why should there be iPhone v2? Why should there be KDE 4? Did the developers of KDE have doubt in KDE 3? Why should there be Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon? Why should there be Ubuntu Hardy Heron? Wasn't there scope in 6.06? Or did Canonical have doubt in 6.06? Why should there be Snow Leopard? Why should there be Leopard? Wasn't there scope in Tiger? Or did Apple have doubt in Tiger?
How does announcing some features of something which is expected to come after 3 years hamper the development of what is available today? When Leopard was announced (don't confuse it with released) was Tiger abandoned? Were there no updates to Tiger at all, just because Leopard was announced?
After Vista was announced, were updates for XP stopped? After Office 2007 was released were updates for Office 2003 stalled?

Why should an alternative be born? Do you even know what DirectX is? How easy it is for multimedia programmers to employ DX? Don't criticize a product just coz its from MS. Open your eyes...something alternative to directx should be born. else ,give support to OpenGL . otherwise ,dear window$ game lover ,you will spend a lakh rupees changing both hardware and software inorder to keep your game addiction
You don't understand the point... When the previous version itself hasn't matured (as in, being fully adopted by the industry) then does it make sense to jump into the next version?
I'm not saying MS shudn't put efforts in developing DX11, but just supporting Garbage's argument.
We don't believe you.. you are one of them, now!

@imav, i serioudly ask u, does ms pay you to be so supporive for them?
no offence tho
i mean, com'on man, i hav a dx10 card laptop (hp dv9704), spent 64k for that, suppose dx10.1 games come, i'll have to buy new crap
doesnt make any sense even in a business man's tactics
one wants to capture the market, not make stupid crap like this.
look at dx9
when it came, it still is considered as game base.
vista was "thrown" at us as a "gaming os", but is it really a gaming os.
the only diffrenece i've noticed is - its fast access to drives, gaming is bad, with "8600gs m" (tried bloody old games. gta sa, gtr2...).
xp with 1gb ram is hot.
vista should have been tested better.
i'm really pissed off with vista.
1st- its over priced
2nd - it under performs
MS should have first got the drivers....readied & then released it.
just look at vista & xp's life span. that itself proves MS screwed up real big f time.
economy dx10.1 cards are not out yet & if you talk of dx11, its f stupidty, business wise.
& dont even start about dx10 games.
afaik, crysis.
some say its a locked sh1t.
ms just "used" its prev. customer base, & it FAILED.
look at intel
they know how GOOD vista is, thats y they want to stay with xp.
so bottom line = its too f early to announce the dev. of dx11
its only going to ruin their own business.
btw, if you havent noticed yet, MS doenst even giv monkey balls about its os anymore, its just XBox 360 & later ver. of it.
the dx10+ ver. of nvidia cards = 2,
1= 9xxx series
2=2xx series
