Yeah it would be nice. OpenGL is king, but there are still a wealth of fine
titles that use Direct3D. As for other enhancements, I can't recall exactly,
but from what I understand, it offers better DirectDraw and DirectPlay
support as well, plus additional compatibility with Microsoft's install
shield stuff.
