I'm confused. Several times the article says that DX11 will remain compatible with DX10 and DX10.1 class hardware. Does this mean they can support the extra features (or some of them) of DX11, or it will just work in legacy mode, like how you can install DX9 on a DX8 card?

Means DX11 software will run on DX10 hardware but the DX11 features will be disabled.

Software needs to work on older hardware. But that does not make money now, does it

Software DOES work on older hardware. However, features in DX11 that can't be support, aren't.


64-bit OS on a 32-bit CPU: Should we blame the CPU for not supporting 64-bit or blame the software for being too advanced?
