Vista to be released first week in October

[CptStern]

"Microsoft is aiming for a global rollout in the first week of October (2 - 6 October). At launch date, Microsoft will also introduce DirectX9L (formerly named Windows Graphics Framework 1.0), the Vista upgrade for the multimedia driver, as well as DirectX 10 (WGF 2.0) and the Media Center Edition (MCE) of Vista. An update for DirectX (v10.1) will be released in the second half of 2007."

That means there should be dx10 cards available by that time

I think I'll wait till the first service pack ...which should be about Jan 2007.

Not a chance, unless it's farther along than any of us know. I hope it doesn;t get shoveled out the door in a crappy state to make release. I don;t think it will, but Microsoft has been known to pressure people into releasing things early.

Interesting.
But I'll probably wait for the first DX10 games to come out before I grab it up. Leaving time for any serious problems to be fixed.
