Microsoft's Sam Glassenberg told Next-Gen in a phone interview, "DX10.1 fully supports DX10 hardware. No hardware support is being removed....It's strictly a superset. It's basically an update to DX10 that extends the hardware functionality slightly."
"All the hardware is still supported, all the games still run, all the features are still there, we've just simply extended the feature set and the lifetime of the API," he said.
Glassenberg also addressed rumors that DX10 -- currently exclusive to Vista -- would be coming to Microsoft's Windows XP. It seems that DX10's Vista exclusivity is unlikely to change.

I STILL DIDNT PAY A PENNY FOR MY VIDEO CARDS! LOL cool.
I was worried because I put so much into my DX10 card currently. It sounded kind of ridiculous in the first place because DX9 cards always supported 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and so on.
Obviously... the articles found about the DirectX 10.1 not supporting DirectX 10 video cards was taken out of context by anti-microsoft crowd... at not remotely interested in using DirectX on first place...
Well, I haven't bought a Video Card for 2 years now and don't intend to so until Fallout 3 arrives but still, this is good news for many PC users.
