This sounds very interesting.

Can you give us some hints as to what this might be?

I know XP is OGL and not DX, but DX11 has support for hardware tessellation and instancing. Is OGL capable of utilizing such hardware features?

Might we see such support in XP 9.5 or 10?

Can you imagine how incredible aircraft models/cockpits would be will 100x the polys (thanks to hw tesselation)?

This would really make XP a FSX killer!

Kind regards
