"In these pictures, we see artist conceptions of one certain Windows Vista wallpaper with mountains overlooking a water body. The artist renderings were created using Microsoft Flight Simulator X in DirectX9 and DirectX10 respectively.
The dramatic differences are apparent. On first glance, you observe that the water looks a lot more real with foam and waves.
DirectX10 makes new ‘volumetric effects’ possible, which in turn make the clouds in the DX10 pic look thicker and more prominent while the scattering of light adds a great effect to the dark side of each of the mountain tops.
You’ll also notice that the edge of the forest looks a lot more prominent and contains greater detail in the DX10 pic.
Finally, you see that DirectX10 allows for accurate reflections of the mountain even in choppy water while DirectX9 provides a more plastic reflection."

Thats probably not going to happen.
They gotta have some reason to make ppl upgrade to Vista when there is realy no good reason to do so (yet).

I'll get vista. first, When I can get the full version for free, forever.
Second, when I have a computer worth putting it on.
Or third, when it's absolutely necessary.

I've been playing around with Vista for a while, and although the final version will be more speed optimized its still gonna blow chunks. 1gig of RAM is going to be the practical minimum, and getting drivers for older equipment is just going to be an absolute pain.
I have a very nice canon scanner which I doubt will ever be supported, so I'm going to have to get another one :(
