External interference with the dx10 standard did massive damage to that and turned developers off it also the lousy (and mostly undeserved) reputation of vista played it's part as well. I think dx11 will be far more widely adopted by developers and of course win7 is being warmly recieved so completely different to dx10 at this point. That said all dx api's are usually the same story so much potential so short in the practical execution but iam hoping 11 will be something good god knows we need something on the pc to get some decent games out on it rather then ports from console.
