Microsoft's WGF plans uncovered?
Two leaked ATI presentation slides appear to have cleared much of the confusion surrounding Microsoft's - graphics API - plans for Longhorn. Windows Graphics Foundation (WGF) 1.0 (formally a variant of DirectX 9) will be the initial API when the operating system finally ships in the second half of 2006. WGF 2.0 (formally known as DirectX 10) will be included in Longhorn SP1, available 6 to 18 months after the operating systems release.
