Microsoft stated that the would not be porting over DirectX 10 to Windows XP - yet there are some talks that someone [a group?] has already done so.

Is Microsoft lazy or is that individual/group missing something?

I think we all knew that M$ were lying through their teeth when they said that. Im actually surprised that people are surprised.

Anyone remember when they said IE/WMplayer were a core component of windows and could not be removed? Ofcourse it is known now that it can be removed within seconds.
