Is Windows 8 supporting DirectX 9? Because I was looking through some samples written in C++ and DirectX 9 made for Windows 8. It wasn't that, like I know it ( look here http://directxtutorial.com/Lesson.aspx?lessonid=111-4-2 ). E.g. Inizialising DirectX with COM:
ComPtr<ID3D11Device1> dev;
ComPtr<ID3D11DeviceContext1> devcon;
It's just weird because I know it with the old way:
ID3D11Device *dev;
ID3D11DeviceContext *devcon;
( I hope you understand what I want to tell )
I hope it hasn't change completely due the released their new OS.
