DX10 cards to work with Vista RC2?

[speedyink]

Since Vista RC2 runs on DX10, technically that would mean that when the DX10 cards come out in November, they'll be able to use the DX10 abilities, right?
Also, is Crysis the first DX10 game thats going to be released? So far thats the only game I've heard about to run on DX10.

I'm not sure if DX10 is fully complete yet. If you're implying that you want to buy Crysis and use it on RC2, I don't think it would work, mainly because RC2 expires sometime in early 2007 (January I think), and Crysis isn't coming out for quite some time.

Its July 2007 isn't it? Or was that just Beta2?

I thought it lasted for a year?

It's either the Vista or Office beta. I know one ends in January, and one ends in July. Since Vista is being released late this year/early next year, my guess is that Vista will expire in January, so people will need to buy the actual retail version.

It lasts until a set date no matter when you install it, either January or July of 2007.

It's into the middle of next year, June or July of 2007.
