Hi Guys and Ladies,    I know I'm behind the times,    But what is  "Vista".             caveman

Vista is the Retail name of longhorn
its the next version of windows.

Yeah, and to exploit it you're going to need some pretty decent hardware, like a Directx 9 compliant videocard with decent memory and performance and 512MB RAM.  :)

I keep seeing posts that state Vista will require DirectX9. I was under the impression that DirectX9 was pretty much standard for the last 18 months or so, maybe longer. Does anyone still use DirectX > 9.

If you are asking if anyone uses something less than DX9 as in directX 8, or 7, then yes, some people still do. People with older video cards use older directX.

Hey Guys,   Sure do appreciate the info.    This brings me to another question  concerning  "Vista".      Perhaps I should put this in as another question.          Thanks very much.    caveman

I thought Vista was going to coincide with DX10.

Dx9 will be out by what, june-july. it has to be when Vista is out. we were talking about this in the FSX forum.
