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. DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer  Brief Description February 2007 The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime provides updates to 9.0c and previous versions of DirectX — the core Windows® technology that drives high-speed multimedia and games on the PC.

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?

According to a few things reviewed at Microsoft the DX 9c will still be seeing some updates like the previous versions back as far as 2000, 98, and ME. But you won't quite see the previous download for installing DX on XP like you did when going frrom 7 or 8 to 9 or 9a to 9b and then 9c. The main core has been changed for video mainly. Apparently MS has to have something for that and sound rendering to update 9c on older versions of Windows.
