Windows 9 with DirectX 12?

[clifford_cooley]

So what do guys think?

Do you think Win9 will based around DX12?

If so what improvements do you think will be added to DX12? I for one certainly hope Win9 takes advantage of DX##, Win8 certainly didn't. Not in the same regard as Win7 anyway, which is one of the biggest complaints I have with Win8. What is the point in having capabilities, if they are going to be eliminated (without choice) from the OS GUI?

I guess there's a strong possibility that DX12 will be released with Windows 9 (or perhaps Windows 9 exclusive), but I have a feeling that it will be released as a Windows 8 exclusive in an attempt to get people to upgrade. Not long until we find out a little bit more about DX12 - 20th March 2014 .

THIS is apparently their blog, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Yes, it's working.. (in Italy)..

There is no Windows 9. Microsoft skipped from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. DirectX 12 is supported on Windows 10 and later.
