DirectX 10 for XP?

    Is there any Chance that DirectX 10 will be available for XP? I have read that the answer is "No,No,No!" but there is some Alky's Project site where they say they can enable DX10 for XP...

    I think theres some hacks for games that give you direct x10 features on XP. I know theres one for crysis, not a whole lot sof direct x 10 games yet.

    direct x 10 only makes games look about 10% better

    There will be more games for DX 10 in the very near future. And I don't agree hacks :) DX 10 works great on Vista, so stick with it! ;)

    Does it make sense to run/upgrade to dx10 if you don't have any games that require dx 10.

    that is will having dx 10 make any of my games that only need dx 9c any better or run more efficient?

    I thought that was the main selling point of Vista, which I am now running :)D), that it had DX10 for gaming performance? :O
    I doubt Microsoft just shat on their own main selling point by making their flagship graphics engine good for XP, so soon before they discontinue XP as a whole, to be honest.
    Is it just a version cracked by other people?
