In questo contesto, Vista si è trasformato in nel vaso per DirectX 10, perché malgrado le varie promesse dai terzo-partiti artificialmente a backport DirectX 10 per Windows XP, l'ultimo cliente di Windows rimane il solo senso accedere al superset di DirectX 9.x.

Microsoft touted un aumento sano nella qualità di multimedia e di gioco con DirectX 10 come parte di numero intero di architettura del Vista, ma con la vasta maggioranza degli utenti ancora che fanno funzionare Windows XP, il soddisfare digitale in gran parte è messo a fuoco sul predecessore del Vista. L'azienda di Redmond era in effetti
criticato sia dai produttori del soddisfare che dagli utilizzatori finali affinchè la relativa decisione faccia l'esclusiva di DirectX 10 Vista, ma dalla diga di fuoco non è riuscito a trattenere Microsoft dalle relative piste. Inoltre, nel primo trimestre di questo anno, Windows Vista SP1 trasporterà DirectX 10.1. (più…)
