Incorrect.

DX10's main draws are support for WDDM and pre-emptive multitasking (allowing multiple applications to use the GPU at the same time, which is what causes the current error when you alt-tab from fullscreen in XIV).

DX10 also draws a line in the sand for minimum capability and performance level, which means that devs using DX10 can be assured that the feature will work as intended on the target platform. No more muss and fuss about hardware T&L or embossed bump-mapping. It simplifies the code a lot and makes the experience more uniform. Sounds rather appropriate for something like Crystal Tools.

In short - don't talk about this unless you know what you're talking about, kthxbye.
