DirectX 11 announced

So Microsoft has revealed that DirectX 11 is on the way with the new version of Windows which is all fine and dandy but my question is where are all the DirectX 10 games?

Vista has been on the market for a while and there are just a handful of games that are available with DX10 support. So all those people who upgraded their systems (like me) have been left wanting and waiting for the games to come out.

While the new version of Windows won’t launch for quite some time yet I don’t know if developers have had enough time to harness DX10 properly yet. Even a game like Age of Conan who claimed it had DX10 support dropped its features just before launch. What does that say about the current state of DX10?

One bit of good news is that current DX10 cards will support DX11 plus the rumours of the new ‘compute shader‘ which will allow developers to harness the power of GPUs. This sounds great but I remember hearing about all the features of DX10 before it was released and what it meant for gaming. I will be keeping my eye on things to come.
