Is 64bit xp any better than Vista? Does it support directx 10?

Better is a subjective term.

And no, it doesn't support DX10 and it never will, from what I understand.

Intended to be subjective to leave it open to response.
-dx10 support stinks.

I can't see how it could be...

Specially since Vista 64 probably has better hardware support than XP 64 at this point.

Well my Nvidia video card works better in XP x64 than Vista x64. 🙂

Vista will come good in the end, but I'm still waiting for it to happen.

How do you define better?..Personally I have no problems with Nvidia drivers or gaming in Vista x64,I think you can say Vista x64 is better for security,better at memory handling,longer life span ,driver wise I know some companies that have dropped support for XP 64 bit drivers in favor of Vista x64,so you can see the obvious answer.

XP64 is a dead product, it was more of a proof-of-concept than anything else. And supposedly DX10 is tied to the new driver model in Vista so it'll only ever be in Vista+.

Is a VCR any better than a DVR?

XP64 is pretty much the red headed step child of Redmond these days.
