"Responding to feedback from customers and third parties, Microsoft has extended the availability of Windows XP to both original equipment manufacturers and retail channels through to June 30, 2008. Originally slated to be pulled from retail shelves and OEMs on January 30, 2008 - only a year after Windows Vista's debut - customers requested more time to prepare for the upgrade to Vista."

If a company can't write a good linux driver guess what the community will write it for them... So why isn't one of the worlds biggest company at least over seeing and actively participating in it's own driver development.
How does Linux drivers have anything to do with Vista or XP?
dx 10 has been said to be a selling point of vista many times but as I have pointed out twice this year falling leaf/ alky will bring dx10 to everyone.
If you mean that DX10 would be available to Linux users...Guess what? Not gonna happen. They would essentially have to duplicate all the work the Wine project has done and then implement a fully functional DX10 on top of that...There just is no point in doing that cos Wine already exists and they'll be heading for DX10 support anyway eventually.
But if they manage to get DX10 working properly under XP then it might be of atleast some use to people.
