It’s my own limited homage to Samuel Beckett. 🙂
Direct3D 10 (AKA DirectX 10) is a Vista only item. Considering the driver model changes for Vista I can see how you would have a problem shoehorning the API back into XP. The problem is that they keep delaying the release for various reasons meaning that the games keep being delayed. The longer you delay the OS the later it will be adopted. I’m not planning on an upgrade until I’ve heard a reasonable amount of feedback as I can’t afford to waste time troubleshooting problems. Considering that everything native I’m developing has to be backwards compatible with Windows 2000, my upgrade path has been restricted somewhat.
The new toy has the dreaded ‘Windows Vista Capable‘, which is a tad suspicious.
If it wasn't for carbon-14, I wouldn't date at all
