I like xp. so does everybody else. lol

It pays to do research before buying products. Windows XP does not support DirectX10 or DirectX10.1 or DirectX11 or Shader Model 4. I use Windows 7 x64. It is free right now, while it's in beta stage. I'd strongly suggest using that. Little to no bugs.

Not everybody likes XP, that is an overstatement. I try not to include false information in my posts, you should too.

Windows XP has severely lacking networking and graphics capability compared to Windows 7. Windows 7 also supports DirectX 11 which will be able to be used by existing DX10 graphics cards with a new driver.

Even if third parties are working on getting SM4 emulated into XP (which they are), they still will not be able to fully integrate Direct3D 10 or 11 in XP without completely rewriting XP.

I do know what I am talking about too, not just blowing hot air out of my head. I have made two Linux operating systems before, I know how this works.

Nah, I know to research a product. This was just a demo I downloaded.

But PhysX requiring DX10 is utter and complete bullshit. No other game has ever required one for the other.

that was at me MKil.

And yeah same answer. I do a lot of research, and I DID know that windows XP doesn't do dx10. DUH, but I didnt know they didnt do SM4.0 I think that is completly stupid. And i realise NOT everybody likes XP, I'm just saying that in my own defense against Vista....>< BTW its not false if you were to do a poll..... roflcakes most people DO prefer XP.. or anything BUT vista...the only reason i even THOUGHT of going to vista was for dx.10...... yuk. Still.. why cant som1 official respond to this..>< So My question has been answered SM 4.0 IS NOT SUPPORTED BY XP!

...Epic Fail for xp..>< dissapointed..

I may try windows 7 but I hear bad things.
