One of the most interesting things was the official confirmation that Windows 7 will use DirectX 10.1 API, something that works well in ATI's advantage. It doesn’t look that DirectX 11 will be ready to launch together with Windows 7 and it will probably come later even though there might be some DirectX 11 hardware to launch in 2009.

I don't know what it means for all Nvidia 8/9/GT200 series owners.

Wonder if Nvidia will get it removed like they did in Ass Creed.

I don't think MS care what nvidia wants and will do what they want to do so it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that w7 is 10.1. Nvidia has been annoying a lot of companys and sooner or later that has to come back and bite them. We are talking about an os not being released for over a year i nvidia can't get their act together in that time do they really deserve any consideration from anyone i don't think so and i would say MS feel the same. Time for nvidia to start implementing things rather then using bully tactics to have things rmoved they can't be bothered to implement the world doesn't revolve around any one hardware company and certainly not nvidia.

Its due out next June isn't it.
