DX10 in XP

* Nonymous:

UAC is more hazzle than help, it nags you
even for very basic things but then it doesn't provide enough
information to tell the user about what exactly UAC is warning.

Go to the Security Center under Control Panel and click the button to
disable it. Next!

I already did that long ago. Makes handling much easier. But disabling
UAC is definitely not the way it's supposed to be, especially since this
can lead to other problems (i.e. some programs malfunctioning) as well...

At this point, there's no reason for me to upgrade to Vista. Nothing in
XP is broken.

That seems to be the general consensus. Hell, I'm still on
Win2K and everything runs great (and no activation bs to put
up with).

Yeah, me too. I read that Dell asked for and got a one year
extension allowing them to sell computers with XP. It seems
a lot of businesses didn't want Vista.

nVidia would like it to be. Microsoft would not like it to be.

That just helps in planning for new video cards. If XP won't run DX10,
there's not need to get a DX10 card.
Unless you want the 5 to 10 times faster DX10 provides and are willing
to upgrade to Vista.



5 TO 10 times faster what?



5 to 10 times more overhead.
and 5 to 10 time more cost!

I've given up on Directx. OpenGL is much more stable, has been in development for
much longer, is cross platform AND is open source.

But that's just you. The rest of the world will be doing Direct X.

Businesses?

Good luck with that.

And Vista drivers have issues with it.

Gee, I can just see the military industrial complex happily running
a bunch of spyware subsystems while they're trying to do all their
black ops business

Supposedly a lot of what our legit spy organizations do is
essentially industrial spying in other countries. Guess how Europe
feels about Vista ?

Enron, HP,... ROTFLOL

I think most people DO NOT realize that 'Vista' is completely different from
'XP'. Thus the resistance to a new operating system that still lacks a good
selection of drivers and which does not provide immediatly recognizable
benefits.
