Microsoft: DirectX 11.1 is for Windows 8 only!
Microsoft have told that DirectX 11.1 will be only for Windows 8. The company’s Daniel Moth states that DirectX 11.1 is exclusive “for all practical purposes” to Windows 8-based platforms, including Windows RT and Windows Server 2012. So if you are Windows 7 users and “hardcore” gamer, you should change to use Windows 8 in some point. What exactly will DirectX 11.1 add to the 3D graphics API? There’s a list of all supported features on the Microsoft’s site, but most of them offers little interest for gamers.
