Why has no one backported this to Windows 7?

Because it's not open source

Proprietary software.

>>59249386
Because it uses a whole new set of WDDM which requires a kernel rewrite.

Also, this:

>>59249413
Why can't we have a dual kernel os?

>>59249438
because Micro$oft is too much of a faggot to even create a new OS in 20 years.

>>59249386
Because it's irrelevant

>>59249775
Windows NT is 28 years old now

You tell me, doc.

Maybe the talented people at wine could make it happen, and we may see DX12 games run on Windows 7/8 through wine.
I mean, they're pretty far with their DX11 support, so maybe we'll get DX12 running in 3-5 years, and then they only need to release it for windows.
I don't know if that's possible though.

Last time I checked, Wine cant run Dx10 and 11 games, unless something changed in the meantime.

But if Wine could run all of them, wouldnt it make more sense to use Linux distros, since MS plans to abandon Windows 7?
