" No more DirectX as we know it.Posted by: Tiffany Smith at September 6, 2004 1:20:21 PM
Internet reports suggest that Microsoft is to discontinue DirectX Graphics after DX9.0.
Reports say that although Microsoft will still rely on the DirectX name for the rest of the core components, the graphics API is now under a new name. Microsoft's next set of core presentation and 3D APIs will now be under Windows Graphics Foundation and Avalon.
So it seems the consensus is; "look out for WGF 1.0 compatibility on the back of that next generation graphics card's box."
