Win XP has approximately 40-45% at present. It's very much.
Therefore we must support DX9 now and in the near future.

Be aware that those numbers includes office machines and a wide range not used to play, according to a Steam survey the XP users is about a 14.90% :

Windows 7 64 bit have a 53.86% and Windows 7 32 bit a 14.65%.

That sum a 68.51% for Win7 and DX10/11 while DX9 have a 14.90%
