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?"
    "Perhaps RIAA/MPAA execs really do eat babies?"
    "Perhaps AMD's stuff is better than Intel's?"
    "Perhaps Bush really is an autistic monkey?"

    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.
