Download DirectX 10 for Windows XP

First of all is this really possiable? Maybe with nvidia 8+ series cards or ATI directX10 compatable cards running Xp 64 bit, but XP 32 bit Hummmmm? I found these old posts and read all of the posts peeps left, some say it didn't work other say it does? Will I be the one to test it? "NOPE" Maybe i'll take one of my old comps put VS2007 and sdk and try it out. I went to micros website and there's nothing! Except for them saying it can not be done. Anyone know the real story behind these claims to fame? Here's some sites making that claim. "Users Beware though" I remember years back hearing about this but a buddy told me it was b.s. so I dropped it. I hate to dig up old graves but what the hell why not!

Well done mate. Although still in Alpha stage testing, it is looking good. Just a reminder to those who are thinking of doing this, it is not the original Microsoft DX10...it is made by a third party and therefore may cause problems with your games and/or even your OS.

Yeah but maybe they should change it to Delta since it's taking over 3 years to do. Microsoft Vista sux so much to own the DirectX10 and maybe soon 11.

I'll keep an eye on it and wait for it to get outta Alpha testing before I do anything with it.
