The August 2007 Direct3D 10.1 Tech Preview requires the Windows Vista SP1 Beta
http://www.microsoft...;DisplayLang=en
Looks like Vista SP1 Beta is not that far off.
Why else would MSFT release a 10.1 Tech Preview that can't be used without Vista SP1?

This tech preview provides an early look at these features and the handful of new APIs that support them. The August 2007 Direct3D 10.1 Tech Preview requires the Windows Vista SP1 Beta which will be available to MSDN subscribers once it is publicly released.
only for msdn subscribers

And beta testers and anyone who gets it after the first guy leaks it. Just being msdn doesnt mean everyone isnt going to have it.

Just like in the old days when the CTPs had to match the the build of windows and you couldnt install a newer CTP on an older build. Ch9 had a huge thing on their site a few years ago called CTP madness were it sorted out which CTP worked on which build, etc.
So this proves .net 3.5 is coming for sp1
