XP was listed in the official system requirements before the game was released. Who is to say they won't optimize it for DX9 at some point down the road? We know today that the game is alpha/beta/unfinished. DX10 probably has priority now because they feel guilty for all the customers that already spent a bunch of money on new hardware and software, only to have their expectations shattered and lowered after a 6 year wait and $8 million dollars later. So, be smart. Don't invest a nickel in this game until it all goes official version. Then run it with whatever you have and make a decision if it is worth upgrading.
