Can you really see that happening? If it is on their list it must be pretty far down it, and by the time that they get around to it the number of people still gaming on a decade-old OS will be so few, it won’t warrant the effort. I’ll wager we’ll see DX11 support before any improvement to DX9, but I may be wrong. IMO, the only reason to stick with XP is if you cannot afford to replace it, and I’d definitely recommend Win7 before any further hardware upgrades.
