for games to start using DX11 efficiently, it will take a good year or so.

this sounds really good to me
My next build might be with a core i7 or one of the 32nm intel CPU's, and i'm definely going to install windows 7 on it
it looks very solid, stable and fast. It might have bugs but they barely notice on the beta version, and with the SSD support... omg windows 7 is going to rock!!
i'll stick with my 4870 and start saving lol

every version of direct X is backwards compatible, for example, if your system has directX 10, you will also be able to play games that run under DX9, dX7 and so on, so no, there will be no need to do that...
And please do not double-post, use the EDIT button instead

If developers start to
1. Use the bloody damn thing.
2. Stop making cheap excuses of piracy
3. If there are ANY exclusive PC titles left.

That has been the case since the dawn of DX you know. They have cards have always been backwards compatible. Owners of the DX10 Architecture cards won't be able to enable certain features that the new API comes with. i.e. most importantly SM 5.0.

VISTA WAS A MARKETING FAILURE. HOW MANY TIMES DOES IT NEED TO BE SAID!!!.
Anyways. I've been keeping an eye on dx11 and windows 7. Looking better than vista and dx10 i must say. Looking forward to upgrade, just need the game releases now

DX11 sounds to me like a software-side upgrade... something that could easily be added to DX10 instead of creating an new version entirely. Marketing...

No that was DX10.1. DX11 is new technology.

not much changed from dx10. it is just like a service pack for dx10. many dx10 cards will be able to support most of dx11's new features.

Well the major upgrade is tessellation. But naming schemes are totally at the will of the user. The first number (in other words the one on the left of the decimal) means major revision. The added features here i would qualify as major revisions. Not service packs.

Nope, there are one or two improvements, but the vast majority of stuff is tuning for easier implementation.
Also, i guess they want to lose the slightly tarnished DX10 title.
