DirectX 10 for XP

[ravermeister]

hello, don't know if its known or neccessary, but i thought it could be.
DirectX 10 is available for windows XP:

It's unimportant, really.

First, that DirectX 10 Port for XP is very buggy (also note, that it's labeled as an alpha), I doubt that it ever will work.

Second, it's no official Microsoft thing and MS never will release DX10 on XP, because they want, that people buy Vista/Windows 7.

Third, most people don't have a DirectX 10 graphic card, which supports Pixel Shader v4.0. Most graphic cards are still DirectX 9 only, or even just DirectX 8.

Also note, that many of the currently used cards just support DirectX 9.0 with Pixel Shader v2.0 and not DirectX 9.0c, with Pixel Shader v3.0.

As you can see, 3 valid reasons against a DirectX 10 based MilkDrop.

Don't expect another DirectX upgrade for MilkDrop in near future.

The current DirectX 9 upgrade was a major thing. DX9 can bring amazing effects.

okay thank you for the information :)
i have baught an GeForce 9800 GT
mostly because i want to run MD in the best quality as possible :) i have an Samsung 1920x1080 plasma hdtv, where i watch the amasing stuff.

anyway, how can i downgrade to directx 9c..?
the installation does nothing at all, i think he checks that
the directx files are newer.

thanks for your help
