Then it would only mean that XP will not be able to run any program that utilizes DirectX 10, hence, forcing users to switch to Vista.

One would guess now is not the best time to buy a laptop.
We don't even know if the graphics card being used nowadays and their drivers are compatible with Vista.

But, oh well, Core 2 Duo seems too good to resist and that's why I placed an order for one! (I would wait for Vista, but I really need one now)

u can use vista with your core 2 duo, you can even use 32bit versions of vista with non dualcore/64bit processors so you'll be fine.

ok, ok, i stand "almost" corrected on the hw part but ati & nvidia r "kinda" almost there with their r600/G80 respectively, one would just cheat a bit for the 1st run to mask the whole thing up with some driver/software seen this one? http://gamershell.ii.net/cgi-bin/fh2...ektechdemo.zip cheers ...

that is correct - just a demo showing what software overlay can do, wanting to wet people's appetite when the hw comes out
