Probably but waiting 2 years for it is kind of long.

the least they could do is release it for Vista too, so the poor people that got stuck with that headache don't have to pay for another software upgrade.

ATI just decided to have DX10.1 - which doesn't make any difference from DX10.

DX11 seems reasonable for Windows 7...in the future.
I wonder how much difference it makes from DX10

Only the Nvidia 9XXX cards and above will support DX10.1.
