The original post kinda make my head asplode. How does someone
logically decide that it's necessary to go to a Usenet newsgroup in
order to find out if one of the top two display adapter/gpu companies
(ATI now owned by AMD) produces hardware compatible with an operating
system from Microsoft that's been out for over a year? I typed in
ati.com into my browser and two clicks later I see "Experience the power
of HD Gaming with DirectX® 10.1." under the description of one of the
cards they sell. Another couple of clicks and you've got all the info
you could want.
I'm having trouble sleeping and might be just being a bit snarky but the
original post should have been prefaced with, "I'm ignorant, just
crawled out from under a rock and I'm incapable of using the world wide
web, let alone google."

Yup. Snarky. I know this because your description matches half of
usenet...

Well, the Internet is just a series of tubes invented by Al Gore, nothing
useful.

One very good reason for posting the question in a Usenet newsgroup
is to get a response from individuals who may already have gone down
this route, rather than rely on the often optomistic claims by
manufacturers about drivers and compatibility.

One very good reason for not posting the question to a Usenet
newsgroup is that there always seems to be at least one intolerent
idiotic individual who wants to make fun at someoene else's expense.
