Gamers: Save $100 and get DirectX 11 for Vista!
At long last -- and some would wonder why now, after the release of Windows 7 -- DirectX 11 is finally available for Windows Vista.This means, while still taking a performance hit for running Vista, you could in theory divert that $100 you would spend on Windows 7 into a new, DirectX 11-enabled graphics card!
To obtain it, you need to download the 'Platform Update' which includes a lot of other updates for the Windows Vista and Server 2008 operating systems -- but other than the addition of DirectCompute (which I discussed in my previous feature on DirectX 11), there isn't a whole lot to report. Currently there is also no redistributable package -- something they have always done for previous versions of DirectX. I'm sure it will follow soon.

I tried a few times... I think it has too many external links -- perhaps for all the advertising stuff.
Damn, I hate sites that look like that.

It took me 8 seconds with Win Xp and Opera (Opera has a clock for that)
But take note I'm using Ad Muncher

If still running Vista not sure it would be worth it.
