DirectX9 - For More Than Just Gamers?

Xev writes "HEXUS.net are showing a review of a new product called 3DEdit. This uses the DirectX 9 3D rendering engine; 3D transitions; DirectX 9 Shader-based filters, in order to give you a powerful home DV editing suite. This proves a lot more value to me as a Video editor than a card which just lets me play the latest games. Perhaps there is more use for these cards even at a consumer level?"

    Is it just me, or has almost every second story today had some kind of spurious leading comment tagged on to the end?

    "Perhaps this is the end of Microsoft?"
    "Perhaps this is Apple's rebirth?"
    "Perhaps Sun is growing up?"
    "Perhaps Firefox really is taking over?"
    "Perhaps Linux really is taking over?"
    "Perhaps games are sacrificing gameplay for graphics?"

    I can see it now: millions of home videos will have a star wipe between every shot!

    Oh god I hope AA isn't required. I'm incapable of editing video without my bitter lager.

    I used to.

    Then I found out it still wouldn't run Longhorn, so I sold it.

    All I got left is this damned t-shirt.

    Whew, I was starting to doubt the power of slashdot. I had read 5 posts without a mac reference.
