I don't see why DirectWrite or Direct2D could not be ported to XP - why would it be any more difficult than a gamer updating DirectX?

- speeder 14y agoIt is not. There are all over internet tutorials on how to install DX 10 and beyond on XP.
- yuhong 14y agoThat is not the MS native implementation which requires the new driver model. MS ditched the old DirectX redists after 9.0c in 2004 and since then only updated D3DX. Sure there is the Platform Update for Vista, but that is only possible because Vista already have the new driver model and it uses a completely different installer.
