socram writes "Speaking with ATI and NVIDIA at ECTS allowed us to confirm
that after DX9.0, DirectX Graphics is no more. In name only. Microsoft's
next set of core presentation and 3D APIs are now under the umbrella of
Windows Graphics Foundation and Avalon. Microsoft will still rely on
DirectX in name for the rest of the core components, but the graphics API
is now under a new name. Look out for WGF 1.0 compatibility on the back
of that next generation graphics card's box. [0]Some WGF 1.0 Info!"
