With a preview version slated for November 2008 and beta versions as early as 2009, Microsoft's newest DirectX will be here sooner than you think. ExtremeTech's Loyd Case digs deep into DirectX 11 and discusses its new features and how it differs from DX10. While improved graphics are expected out of the new release, DX11 hopes to improve upon crunching complex graphics with the GPU through hardware tessellation, which many people hoped to see in DX10.

It's quite early to speak about DX10 emulation when the current open-source drivers don't fully implement OpenGL 1.5/2.0, even with open specifications... Considering that many DX10 features are beyond the OpenGL 3.0 specs, emulation won't for tomorrow -- or even for the end of the decade.
Gallium3D is an humble project, but I don't see any adoption until it's backed by an influential commercial vendor.
