Windows: DirectX Dependency

[Andrew Chen]

Hi All-
I know that windows is somewhat off topic for this list, but I was 
wondering if you guys would be removing the dependence on DirectX in the 
next Windows release?  If you guys have a linux server, it's obvious that 
you guys have managed to tear out all the Microsoft-specific stuff.  I 
can't imagine that big black rendering windows helps performance at all... 
:|  Thanks.
