DX 9c seems to running ok here on Vista. With Vista out now what do you still see at Microsoft? DX 9c! That 2005 article has done nothing more then start a rumor mill. When the next version of Direct X comes out look over the information on it then to get the facts. Wait until someone installs DX 10 on an XP system and everything still works? We'll see then.

You're very slow ADE, lol.
They posted this back in October, and then a few days later wrote another article saying that they were wrong. DX9.0L (as they call it in the article), is built into Vista, and allows you to use DX9 games and apps, even though it has DX10. DirectX10 is not compatible with XP, and I highly doubt it ever will be.

DX 10 hasn't even come out as a separate download to try it one way or the other. Would you think an old 8bit dos game would run on a Vista machine? http://img338.imageshack.us/my.php?i...tartoffsu1.jpg
It seems odd that the DX download page has a few things to say on this.

As far as I know, DX10 is already included on Vista, but just a crude version of it. If it doesnt include it right now, and has to be downloaded, then why does it say DirectX10 when you enter dxdiag?

The latest SDK redistributable is basically an online type of installer that downloads the updated DX drivers to bring the 9c and older DX versions upto the DX 10 standards while not being a separate package you can save to a folder. You will notiice that even Vista is included showing that while 10 comes along with it the updates will go on the ohter version mentioned as well. Eventually you will probably see a version of 10 that will update XP. But that would have to have the XP version of drivers there to work. Otherwise?
