You may ask: Why no fallback to DX9 then? Well, we already have a Vista enabled DX9 benchmark (3DMark06) and the last three 3DMarks have all been DX9; 3DMark03 has one test which requires SM2.0, 3DMark05 requires SM2.0 for all tests and 3DMark06 uppers the requirements for two tests to SM3.0. I think both we and the rest of the world are ready to step into the next generation - DX10. There's no reason to go backwards, if you know what I mean.

It's also gonna be great seeing how many people try to run this anyway and complain cause it wont work with their DX9 cards. Or they'll try to run it in Vista cause it says they have DX10, and can't understand the difference between DX10 software and hardware.
