"There's no massive pull for me for DX10," Carmack told Game Informer. "[Enemy Territories:] Quake Wars is definitely not DX10." Carmack added that he felt a move to Vista is unnecessary at this time. "There were some clear wins going from Windows 95 to Windows XP for games, but there really aren't any for Vista... I suspect I could run XP for a great many more years without having a problem with it."
I dont know about you but DirectX 10 games such as Crysis are looking sweeet, but from a developer standpoint it might be a wise choice not to develop for a platform that isn't yet widespread. They could however develop a game that is both DirectX 9 and DX 10 compatible. What do you guys think?
