Hi, I have heard of this project to get Microsoft's new DirectX 10, which is "only for Vista", to run in Windows XP, Mac OS X, and Linux. If someone is trying to get DirectX 10 to run in other operating systems other than Vista, will the same happen for Halo 2 Vista? Will it work?

Did you hear this from Fake? If not, source please? I highly doubt this is true. It would be much simpler and more beneficial to just get Vista.

No and DX10 is still Vista exclusive.

DX10 = Vista exclusive. It's a moot point, anyway, considering how Halo 2 doesn't even use DX10.

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

Nope 19 year old hacker from CA cracked the DX10 libraries to run on XP a long time ago.

You can search google for DX 10 hacked or DX10 XP.

Halo 2 Vista will not use DX 10. HALO 2 VISTA WILL NOT USE DIRECT X 10.0!!! So, please, for the love of bungie and the sanity of the moderators, please stop posting this. Use the search button, it is there for a reason.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Actually, from what I understand, MS did test LA on XP. I am assuming that only based on something I read ago, during a beta test.

Not at all. It's a hybrid project most likely (I wouldn't know of course). Probably a little assembly, c an other languages in the mix there.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

No, it won't work, Vista and XP have some very diffrent elements, in them from their GUI to their library files, true MSoft does tend to use many of the same file stuctures, but make no mistake Vista is not XP with a different start bar.

Yeah, DX10 is Vista exclusive :( I have the DirectX SDK (C++), and I can't use anything related to DX10, only 9 for me :(

PLZ DNT WASTE UR TIME LERNIN 2 SPEL K?

Idiot.

At the moment, H2V is Vista only, and therse a 99.9% chance it will only be Vista only, as said above, most people think it can be ported to XP as Vista is "XP with a circle start button" but it isnt, as said above.

Looks like someone needs to do English more. People just want it on XP because they're to lazy to get out there and pay for Vista, or don't have jobs. Wow, nineteen days till release and you think they'll put it on XP? And i love Vista's circle start button, XP's drives me crazy. I guess people want MC black suits visors, weapons, swords, levels? Just because people put Halo 2 CE maps on XP doesn't mean that XP can run H2V.
