By far the most important factor is the graphics chips/cards manufacturers. MS pushed DX regardless because they can use it in their Xbox gaming development, regardless of what happens on PC gaming front, but until graphic cards that support higher DX with lots more detail and effects, gaming software companies won't move a muscle, there's no point to make a game that as you're saying no-one is going to buy cause they don't have a 600$ graphic cards. Although by reading most of the online gaming sites and magazines you would believe that everyone nowadays has a 3000$ gaming computer, it's not. Gaming studios won't put more effort into creating higher detail graphics or more beautiful effects costly as they are and they will settle for DX9 for as long as they can. I hope so too, but again even W7 will be a success and I'm pretty sure it will based on the general feedback, I don't think things are going to change solely based on W7 adoption - no cheaper >= DX10 cards for the masses, no nada. Time will tell. @smilingman

Graphic cards are cheaper and more powerful than they where just a few years ago right now. The Flight Sim I believe was a early mockup and not real in game screenshot. Conan increase the view distance and lighting effects but DX9 still looks good. You can not compare in game screenshot of a 1999 xbox game ported to PC in 2003 to 2008 Crysis tech demo rendering. Does DX10 improve game graphics, YES, is it a most have feature, NO. In 2007 Vista Ultimate retail cost was 400 and a  GeForce 8800 GTX was around 600, for a total cost of 1000 USD to play little more than a hand full of games that took full advantage of just these two products. As I state before no-support for WinXP hurt MS bottom line, slowed game studio adaptation and made Vista a needless upgrade for gamers. I hope that this changes with Win7 and DX11.

It's not DirectX itself that's selling an OS (that's why it's free), it's the games that come with that DirectX. The slow adoption of the DX 10 and DX 11 is mostly due to graphic cards costs - see them going cheaper in the next couple of years and we'll be talking about DX 10 or 11 same as we're talking about DX9 now.

The WinXP install base is to big to ignore and Vista did not perform the way it should of. I believe DX10 was a minimal update to DX9, the switch to Dx10 would of be easier and faster for game studios if the huge WinXP base was support. I beleive lengecy devices and software sould only be support for two generations back at the most. DirectX has become the center of game dev. and should support the largest user base, not as some marketing cimmick to sell your lastest bloated OS.

If Windows 7 is just a stepping stone to Windows 8, as is stated by multiple sources, then Microsoft would do well by packing in everything they not only think would be used immediately, but in the furure. Windows 7 may replace XP, and be used by many people for a long time. Even if developers do not utilise DriectX 11, at least they have the option available. If Microsoft stuck with DirectX9 when developing Vista, we would not be seeing games like Crysis released. Who knows what DirextX 11 has to offer.. I agree with LeftTesti here.

Windows 7 may replace XP, and be used by many people for a long time. Even if developers do not utilise DriectX 11, at least they have the option available. If Microsoft stuck with DirectX9 when developing Vista, we would not be seeing games like Crysis released. Who knows what DirextX 11 has to offer..

If Windows 7 is just a stepping stone to Windows 8, as is stated by multiple sources, then Microsoft would do well by packing in everything they not only think would be used immediately, but in the furure.

The simple fact is that MS did not add support for DX10 to WinXP, the failure of Vista and the lack of any true performance gains over DX9 has made the move to DX10 meaningless. If Win7 is the success that I hope it is, them maybe DX11 will be used by more game studios.

Any functionality added and improvements made, or any extra features that allows a developer of a game/video editing software etc to push the limits further and supply better graphics or effects is a welcome addition. What you have said is like saying, why release Office 2007 if people are still using Office 2003. It will get used and graphics cards are what pushes directx not so much the OS. If card manufacturers are asking for this that and the rest of it so they can release a new gfx card they will need dx to be upgraded. Just my 20pence work I don’t agree to that comment.
