Ah, neat trick!
I went to look up my source for you Hive and it appears to have vanished with a lot of email in the *ahem* user error earlier this year.
As I prefer to game in Linux, I subscribe to the Transgaming newsletter and they had a very interesting discussion about DX10 and what it means. They were very optimistic about the re-write but said that there would be a legacy version of DX10 for people not using Vista, alongside the incompatible DX10 for Vista users.
Their view was basically that it's great that DX gets a much-needed rewrite, but it's going to be a big burden on games developers to produce games for two versions at once.
I can't find back-copies of newsletters on their website unfortunately. A google isn't conclusive either, with some links suggesting that this was MS' original plan but they've decided to not release DX10 for XP anymore.
