| Possible work around for DX10 for XP |
 |
I was surfing around and ran into this:
http://www.fallingleafsystems.com/compatibility/
Sounds like they will have the free version available before PDXLAN 10.
So YAY!!, I don't have to upgrade to vista just yet.

Quite interesting, although I am wondering where you get the install for Vista Sidebar...

I doubt the Vista sidebar would work under XP without a bunch of code hacking, not because XP isn't capible or lacks anything but because if I was developing it as an integral "Vista only" feature I would have had my code monkeys put Vista-only API calls in every other line of code.
DX10 and OpenGL 3 (?) are supposedly very similar, I wonder if that's how those folks are planning to implement the backwards compatibility.

According to the website it's working but Requires minor TaskDialog tweaks

I have been following this for more than 6 months and feel like its vapor ware.

Wonder if there will be one for dx10.1 since it sounds like that will require new video card/vista sp1
