I wonder if they'll have another OS out before XP is useless. I mean you can still run 2000 and be fine. Which then means couldn't you skip from XP to whatever's after Vista?



If you do that, you wouldn't be able to take advantage of video cards that use DirectX 10. Taxman sent me a link to a good article that covers some of the improvements that DirectX 10 will bring to the table. Read it here.

There is a lot of techno-babble in the article, but it does appear that DirectX 10 graphics cards will be uber, and you can only do DirectX 10 under Vista.
