    Question Directx 10

    I have a NVidia 8600 GT w/512 megs. I run Windows XP Home, & FSX Delux w/Acceleration. My question is: Can I get Directx 10 to work in windows XP???
    Although I've downloaded DirX 10 and installed it, It still comes up DirX 9 in DXDIAG... I see no changes in my FSX... Nvidia says I have the latest drivers for the card... Do I need Vista???
    Thanks For any info

    Simple - No DX10 in XP.
    Microsoft ploy to get you to upgrade to Vista.
