3D News, GL, DirectX "DirectX 10 would not work with XP, and that was fine and dandy. It was an honest technical reason why you could not backport DX10 to XP without a major rip and replace operation. Microsoft wasn't going to bend on this one at all." More here.

I don't care if you say MS is wrong for doing this .. maybe they are. But to give Apple a passing nod for doing the same kind of sh*t is just a bit hypocritical.


Except that I *didn't* give a passing nod to Apple. In fact, I even said that I thought Apple should backport these upgrades if possible.

I also said that, because the contexts are *so* different, the comparison with Apple is flawed, and just another example of MS apologists trying to change the subject every time someone dares to criticize their favorite monopolist.
