The real reason Microsoft is taking their time with the next Direct X is because they can't decide what to name it... They didn't get it out soon enough to call it "Direct XP" and "Direct X 10" just isn't cool enough... I've heard they're tossing around "Direct XX," "Double X," "Direct 2 X," and "Death to OpenGL X." Personally I like "Direct X²" the best.
