Richard Hadden, senior researcher game AMD, during the presentation PDXLAN said that Windows 7 will not support DirectX 12 - and despite the fact that this version of the operating system from Microsoft is currently the most popular among users with a share of 52%.

"What would happen [Windows 7], so it's DX12», - sure Huddy. However, AMD reported portal Gamespot, Richard "misspoke." The statement noted that the words Huddy about support DirectX 12 on separate versions of Windows are his personal conclusions.

"Richard Huddy can not speak for Microsoft, but it is, unfortunately, makes assumptions based on published by the key dates and stages of the life cycle of Windows 7. Richard no special understanding of plans for the development of Microsoft Windows and DirectX», - carefully refuted the words of his employee in AMD.
