Bad news for all the top-level system integrators like Dell who were planning to move to the latest Intel chipsets once they released this year. Especially for companies like Sony, who are releasing their newer models with only Vista pre-installed...

"Intel's G35 chipset was originally planned to support DirectX 10 at launch time, but due to the delay of a DirectX 10 driver, Intel currently schedules to launch the alpha version DirectX 10 driver in fourth quarter of 2007 and will launch the final version in first quarter of 2008 if the process goes well, noted the sources."
