HardOCP: DirectX & The Future of Gaming

[GTaudiophile]

Read here!

DirectX 10 will be available to Windows Vista users only at its introduction. You will not find DirectX 10 being released for the Windows XP operating system. DirectX 10 is deeply embedded into Windows Vista operation and we currently know of no plans by Microsoft to allow Windows XP to officially support the new API.

I would think so, but that also depends on whether or not DX10 will be backwards compatible with DX9. Which it most likely will be.
