I just bough a new laptop from dell just for the DX 10 support. Specs Vista Home Premium, Intel Core 2 Duo 1.5 Ghz, 4GB Ram and 8600M GT cost? $2500 AUD!!! Why is my computer going to be outdated in 6 months time from purchase? But honestly here in 6 months time games will still be running DX 9!!!

[not a fan of halo tbh] and as for the updates... I agree about the operating system to a certain point... I still feel Vista could of just been an XP update/service-pack... but to be honest, most machines on xp are not strong enough to cope with vista... and as for the dx updates... its this simple, software evolves faster than technology... they found a better way for directX to work, but maybe one tiny little diode is different on the card for it to work, so new cards must be made... your talking about Bill killing the game industry, but in fact, his lads at micro are advancing it further and further everyday. your talking about copying games/movies.... are you aware it is illegal and costs the companies that make said movie/game billions each year? doesnt stop me like. Plus, there will always be someone smart enough to find a way! final point... dx 10.1 games wont be out for like, at least a year, so you have plenty of time to save your pocket money. Plus u also get a years use out of your dx10 cards... so wtf?! stop complaining!?!?! wtf magi?

This is a ploy by Bill Gates to kill the computer gaming industry. Changing the dx every 6 months and changing the OS every 4yrs. will cause a wake in the computer gaming software industry. What will we do Oh Magi???? Just what he wants us to do. Buy his XBox 360. These games are just about impossible for the normal average Joe to pirate and/or share. More money for Bill! I will stay true to my computer. Maybe justmaybe the dust will settle and computer gaming will win over this adversity. Of course my glass is always half empty.... To all us loving computer gamers.

we spend our money to buy a 8800 and less than a year we should spend more?
and we talking about 300 Euro (360$) … i think microsoft laughing with us…
i think in a while the vista will be update to rvista (real vista ) and the E6750 will be look like a pII 900mhz and then new cpu with new motherboard etc.
if Bill Gates think that i have money machine he is wrong…
now i understand why linux does not (fully) suport from int0l,at0,xfc,avga, etc
