No, dx10 'technology' cannot be integrated into windows due to software incompatibilities.

imho dx10 was blown out of proportion anyway, sold off my copies of vista :)

Vista is pretty good now..its gotten alot better than it was. Just go through and strip it down as much as you can if you want to run it and DX10 for gaming, or wait till 2010 for "Windows 7" and DX11 :D
