What would be the difference between Direct3D 10 and something like OpenGL 2 besides the fact that Vista doesn't like OpenGL 2 much? OpenGL is still heavily developed and widely used everywhere except for games, even though games like Half-Life and Doom are OpenGL. Any insights on that?

45mb? conan isnt nearly as cool as crysis or project offset.

I agree -- but the footage is interesting nonetheless, lighting looks good, and motion is fluid.
dont know why it gives me a 404 page not found :|

You forgot to tell evryone that to watch the demo you need Vista and a 8800 video card.

Well its a DX10 demo, i think everyone know that to run DX10 you need vista and a Geforce 8 Series( include 8500, 8600, 8800 )

In fairness, most DX10 demos are actually videos of DX10 graphics and not a physical on machine demo and so aren't reliant on Vista and DX10 hardware to view, this was, but not a major problem was just pointing out to anyone interested that they would need Vista / 8800 to view.

Just crashed my system not very impressive at all. Before the crash it wasn't all that impressive either. The cascades demo was more impressive but this one show off more features.

The best demos are of Crysis:

Here's an ATI one thats pretty impressive (specific demo not gameplay):

This is a video so can be watched on all OS.

However, this in no means implies it its either as good as or better than an 8800.

Maybe once Google Summer of Code is over we'll have a worthy DX10 translation layer in the Wine project... Just imagine, DX10 gaming on Linux with any OpenGL 2.x compliant video card!
Of course 'real' DX10 cards will still have an advantage in that case.

So much for Vista being necessary to use DX10, though.
