DirectX 10 Support to Become Compulsory for “Vista Premium” Systems.

In an attempt to boost popularity of its new operating system among gamers and a new application programming interface (API) among game developers, Microsoft Corp. plans to make DirectX 10-compliant graphics cores compulsory for personal computers carrying Windows Vista Premium logotype in mid-2008.

Microsoft Windows Vista operating system is the first OS from the software giant that actually diversifies computers with different hardware inside into systems that can carry 'Windows Vista Capable' logo as well as 'Windows Vista Premium' logo.

Earlier Microsoft only issued logotypes that informed end-users regarding the operating system that their computer is designed for, e.g., 'Designed for Windows XP'.

Typically more favourable logotype makes people to choose one system over another, therefore, if computer makers want to sell higher-priced systems, they have to ensure that they carry “Premium” logo.

Starting from June, 2008, Microsoft reportedly plans to require DirectX 10-compatible graphics adapter inside systems with Windows Vista Premium logo.

The decision is likely to increase popularity of games designed solely for DirectX 10 and Windows Vista OS, as currently numerous gamers tend not to upgrade their computers, but rather migrate to game consoles, such as Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii or Sony PlayStation 3.

The new requirements from Microsoft are more than likely to catalyze leading designers of graphics cores, such as ATI, graphics product group of Advanced Micro Devices, Intel Corp. and Nvidia Corp. to transit their product families to DirectX 10-supporting lineups.
