    Default No DirectX 11.1 for Windows 7?



    It seems that the new Direct 11.1 update will remain exclusive to Windows 8. In a Microsoft Answers forum, program manager Daniel Moth stated that, “DirectX 11.1 is part of Windows 8, just like DirectX 11 was part of Windows 7. DirectX 11 was made available for Vista, but at this point there is no plan for DirectX 11.1 to be made available on Windows 7

    Once MS finds that not not many people will be buying Win 8 as they thought, things will most likely change, at least I hope they will

    This amounts to a strong-arm tactic.
    The Attorney General should send them a nasty letter about supporting existing products.

    Also, crap like this is why people are so vehement about the development of open source software.

    We are selling a lot of Win 8 SW and our Win 7 computers are not clearing out any more. Their marketing seems to be working.
