    I jst got this new pc rig 3 months ago . I purchased this with vista on it . I think vista runs really smooth. I came into the vista game late most of the bugs were worked out. Iam staying on vista for a while . My direct x 10 works on Crysis really well on this machine. Does windows 7 have direct x 10 on it.

    " how much better is this direct x 11 "

    Directx 11 supports tesselation, which is a more advanced version of parralax occlusion. In other words, no more flat textures; cobblestone walls appear very bumpy and rough for instance. It's worth it if you're a graphics whore, but remember that you need a DX11 card as well, which only just came out. 
     
    In terms of Windows 7 vs. Vista, there's about a 10% performance benefit from 7, as well sleeker functionality. But if you don't have some sort of upgrade coupon, or aren't a student, it's not necessarily worth it.

    yeah Windows 7 (which I have installed give a slight increase in games performance right now.  
     
    DirectX11 is backwards compatible with DirectX10 so you will be able to run all of your DX10 games as well as on Vista, even with a slight increase of performance. I ran Far Cry 2 DX10 and it ran fairly similar to the Vista version so you shouldn't have to worry. 
     
    another word of advice, unless you are really desperate for some performance gain, OR can get Windows 7 for a discounted price, i wouldn't really bother.

    Uh....Direct 11 isn't Windows 7 specific, it'll also be supported in Vista.  So, if you're comfortable with Vista or don't have money to upgrade to Windows 7, Direct 11 isn't an issue.
     
    I'd still recommend upgrading, but not as much as say from XP to Vista or XP to 7.
