"If the Inquirer is to be believed"...
According to this article (http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39095):
A year in, the Alky Project has gone live under the cover of a company Falling Leaf Systems. Members of its Sapling Program will be able to get the wrappers for DirectX10 applications and run them not just on DX10 hardware under Windows XP, but with some DX9 hardware as well.
Although this sounds like a fairytale, Cody claims he reverse-engineered the Geometry Shader code, and that users will be able to run Windows games intended on the Mac OS X on x86-based Macinteltoshes as well as Linux.
While we are waiting for the wrappers so that we can show DX10 running under Windows XP - or not - you can check out the claims yourself.
So, it may be spurious, but if it ends up being true then I think it will be great news for all consumers.
