Any chance for supporting D2D on XP? Please?

No decision has been made on XP yet. We're entirely focused on Windows 7 right now. Vista support was announced a while back at PDC.

Thanks for getting Vista.

A second vote for adding in XP.

When you say Direct2d now works on Vista, does that include DirectWrite? Thanks!

Vista Ultimate x64. Visual Studio 2008 SP1, March DirectX SDK.

Extrusion and SciFiText work perfectly but DxgiSample does not.

I tried this scenario, and we're not seeing a failure. We did fix some bugs in the Beta SDK sample of DxgiSample, though. Are you building the Beta sample? If so, please get updated source files at the following location, and rebuild:

Is support or a Connect feedback site available? I can't get RenderTarget->FillMesh() to run in a very simple test.

Is there any particular license on the sample code? I'd like to port it over to SlimDX, but we publish everything under the MIT license and I don't want to run into trouble there.

When we will there be some kind of forum support? I've got a variety of questions I'd like to get answered about the behavior of the current runtime/sdk. Thanks,

Brian

@Thomas: "Is support or a Connect feedback site available? I can't get RenderTarget->FillMesh() to run in a very simple test."

If you provide me a snippet of source code that illustrates how you're using FillMesh, we'll take a look. Thanks.

That's a question for the lawyers, and I'm not a lawyer. ;-p But I will pose the question, and see what they say.

Given that this is still a prelease product, we don't have a forum set up yet. But I would be happy to answer any questions that you have about the behavior of the runtime/sdk. Please feel free to contact me.

Another vote for making it work on XP. Will be _really_ useful.

When will be the RUNTIME be available on Vista rather than the SDK?

For a full-screen 2D-only application (e.g. a visualizer) what is the recommended method to avoid tearing? In other words, what is the Direct2D equivalent of full-screen Exclusive mode and page-flipping in DirectDraw? I tried the examples but didn't find this case.
