Hacked DX10 for Windows Appears

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-maybe-it-did-anyway dept.

Oddscurity writes "According to The Inquirer someone managed to write a wrapper allowing DirectX 10 applications to run on platforms other than Vista. The Alky Project claims to have reverse-engineered Geometry Shader code, allowing Windows games to run on Windows XP, MacOSX and Linux. The Inquirer is understandably cautious about these claims, urging readers to investigate the releases themselves to ascertain whether or not it's a hoax."

    This is the start of the market's reaction to Vista, made manifest. Actually, this is Linux users' and MS-philes' (over)reaction to Vista. And they'll get sued.
