DX10 hardware is already obsolete

Here's the thing. DX10 hardware - such as the GeForce 8800 or the Radeon 2900 - won't work with the new 10.1 features. The 0.1 revision requires completely new hardware for support, thus royally cheesing off many gamers who paid top whack for their new hardware over the last few months on the basis of future game compatibility.

4xAA is a compulsory standard to support in 10.1

Ive got a top of the range ATI DX9 card (x1950xtx). The new DX10 cards werent out at the time, and I certainly didnt plan on updating to Vista to use DX10 (yet). So Im safe too.

I think DX10 and Vista 64 both need a little more time to mature before I upgrade.

Yeah using a radeon x1950 pro here, still have a single core pc too, I'll just upgrade the whole lot in one go when I find games are running too slow
