Default Windows XP DX10!

Download DirectX 10 for Windows XP from Alky Project

Old news, but has anyone tried this yet? does it work? Its just an alpha release but if it works I'm moving back to XP, Vista is showing its ugly side ATM.

Vista, eliminating even the thoughest players. =[


Someone with a DX10 video card should give it a whirl. It's great... wait, AWESOME news. Alot of people predicted something like this, because DX10 for Vista only was a real ripoff.

Actually, it's not a lie - look it up.

Virtualisation was the main component of DX10 that XP couldn't do - it was just impossible. This meant there was a valid and honest reason why XP could never run DX10. But then Microsoft goes and does something stupid by telling nVidia that virtualisation is optional now. Check this article for more information.
