DirectX 10

As the Windows Vista countdown winds down, it's time to start wondering about the releace of DirectX 10 - DirectX10: The Next Generation in Gaming - from the Windows Vista Team blog.

On Get Ready - Windows Vista Capable and Premium Ready PCs. there isn't a mention of DirectX 10, but as sure as day follows night we all know that DirectX 10 is enviable.

MrT of ATI published DirectX 10 for Teckies   Then there is the abundant resource Microsoft Game Developer Presentations, but the realty is that ATI and Nvidia have yet to announce the release of the first Direct 10 enabled GPU and there is the issue of inventory.

MSDN DirectX 10     Windows Vista Developer Center              Let's hope we see a 3D UI on the day that Windows Vista Launches!

Edit: I met with people from ATI and Nvidia at Digitallife in NYC, they each said we will not see DirectX 10 till Q1 '07.
