Beyond DirectX 10 - A glance at DirectX 10.1

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-percent-more dept.

Hanners1979 writes "Although we still appear to be some way away from the release of Windows Vista, and with it DirectX 10, specifications for the first point release of the 3D graphics API, DirectX 10.1, have already been finalised and largely made public. Elite Bastards looks at what's new and what will be changing in this release, set to become available not all that long after DirectX 10 — There's more to it than you might imagine."

    Why not call it DirectX 10, and release it with Vista? Heck, by the time Vista is released, it may be DirectX 11.

    I'm especially looking forward to DirectX11, which will reportedly be based on the XFree86 4.4 implementation of X11 (under a new license, of course).

    Are you crazy? MS would never delay Vista!

    Why didn't they follow Apple's lead and call it DirectXX?

    Obviously the 10th point revision would be DirectXXX.
