DirectX 9 To Get a Significant Upgrade

Another interesting post at the inquirer…

I didn’t expect any significant change to DirectX before DirectX10\WGF (Vista).
It seemed the DirectX team’s main focus in the DirectX9 updates was on tools etc. but according to this article, DirectX9 will get a significant core upgrade featuring Shader Model 4.0 support.

Should be interesting… I wonder if they’ll invite me to the beta program (if there will be one)…
