CrossOver to Bring DirectX 10 Support to Linux and Mac
Codeweavers, the company behind CrossOver, a software that allows Linux and Mac users to run Windows applications, is readying support for Microsoft's DirectX 10 API on in upcoming versions of CrossOver Games. CrossOver Games is a variant of the software specifically designed to run games for Windows with near-complete software API support.
In his blog, Jeremy White, a lead developer for CrossOver products reviewed how much they had achieved on the goals they set eight months ago in the development roadmap. "We've just shipped a lot of those "under the hood" improvements for games out in CrossOver Games 7.2. We're really pushing Direct X 9 support pretty far along, and getting ready to move on DirectX 10." said White.

Other news, this is good on the Linux Front, Mac however, is just Darwin.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)
getting a good video card for mac is really hard and expensive.
The problem is, M$ wannt to sell the r*t*rd*d Vista :roll:
Edit.: Waiting for Windows7... :)
HD4870 has been working fine for a while now as well.
It will run slowly probably at half the speed or less of windows and have many bugs and wont support all games.
More effort and pressure should be put into promoting OpenGL support in newer games then we can have similar gaming performance on both Linux and windows without the need for modifying closed source directx which will never run as well on linux.
Bring the API on XP ground ya morons!
it was alpha, but now they have closed this project altogether...
