Depends on your usage...I find Vista to be an EXCELLENT media experience...it includes all the tools you need for viewing media, anyway. Sure, there's a big hole in terms of authoring content (c'mon, sound recorder? When are they going to axe that), but, for playing it, microsoft really excels.

As for DX 10...well...if you have a Geforce 9800GTX or a Radeon HD 4850 or better, you probably won't notice much of a performance difference in very many games. Below those cards, though, and it's a fair amount of overhead, and not really feasible.
