WE USE TO call it DirectX 10, later someone called it DirectX Next and now we have ended up with name Avalon. No one ever gave a clear answer what Avalon will be. We know it is the codename of Microsoft's next generation Longhorn User interface that runs on top of next generation DX Next.We present the name Avalon as codename for graphic subsystem which Microsoft plans to release with Longhorn. As we said in our previous article Avalon will be available for Windows XP and some other versions of Windows as well.
