Daniel Moth has confirmed that the new version of DirectX, DirectX 11.1 will only be available for Windows 8. His post below
"As you figured out WARP is part of DirectX 11. With DirectX 11.1, WARP was enhanced with (among other things) support for DirectCompute and hence it is one of the accelerators for C++ AMP. DirectX 11.1 is part of Windows 8, just like DirectX 11 was part of Windows 7. DirectX 11 was made available for Vista (bing it), but at this point there is no plan for DirectX 11.1 to be made available on Windows 7"
In my opinion I feel MS is doing this so people that would like Stereoscopic 3D support will have no choice but to upgrade even if they don't want to. What you think, leave comments!
