Vista & DX10 w/Drivers

Will drivers be a thing of the past with Vista and DX10? I've heard that with the combination, applications will be able to speak directly to hardware rather than going through the operating system.

Should make for some sigifinicant performance improvements if it happens...
 
No, we'll still have drivers. Applications won't talk directly to the graphics hardware; rather, access to the GPU will be even more virtualized, to handle the problem of multiple applications (including the Windows Aero UI) needing to use the GPU at the same time.
