[Asuman]

Hello Friends,

I would like to know that do we require Genuine Windows VISTA copy for DirectX 10. I'm planning to run Windows Vista on my system, but was having little bit of doubt that whether it would support DirectX 10 or not. Does any one have any idea about it? Kindly suggest me your views.

Thanks in advance.
