Why Windows Vista Won't Suck: DirectX 10

If you play games (and maybe even if you don't), you care about the next big version of DirectX. DX10 is going to be Vista-only. It relies on the new driver model, so don't expect some sort of eventual back-port to Windows XP.

So what's new in DX10? A lot. Take a look at images below. There are screenshots of Age Of Conan game. And click the link under the every image to see how it looks under DirectX 10.
