A group called Falling Leaf Systems have announced a preview build of what they call "DirectX 10 compatibility libraries":
As a fitting start to this blog, I'm proud to release a preview of our DirectX 10 compatibility libraries. These libraries allow the use of DirectX 10 games on platforms other than Microsoft Vista, and increase hardware compatibility even on Vista, by compiling Geometry Shaders down to native machine code for execution where hardware isn't capable of running it. No longer will you have to upgrade your OS and video card(s) to play the latest games.
Brave souls can install it and test samples from the DirectX 10 SDK, but it seems noone has posted success tales in that particular blog at least.

Pretty interesting if it turns out to be a workable solution; certainly further reduces the need to consider upgrading to Vista for gamers.

I like my Tiny XP. If DirectX10 can run with that thing then I would do it.

I don't like the bulk of Vista. I think I will wait until Vista gets more stable or get some virtual machine and do it all.
