I tend to believe that most rational programming decisions would render a choice of DX10 over DX9(where both are viable options) because a particular task or set of tasks was more easily accomplished. I really doubt that many programmers are thinking - hey, I'll bite the bullet and use DX10 because I need to help drive Vista sales. :P
(funny that the captcha is "bribing" tho)
