Whats the specialty of directx10 cards?
DirectX 10 differs from previous versions in that it uses the API built into the actual operating system (Windows Vista). Versions prior to this used a separate API (Advanced Programming Interface) to the OS - with the advent of Vista, the API is now built right into the OS - DirectX10 interfaces directly with this to provide improved graphics/sound. For this reason, DX10 in it's fullest form will NOT be made available on OSs prior to Vista. Hope this helps.

How do you open a music file in C?
This is not a C, or any other language, question. It is a platform / environment question. In MS Windows, assuming you have an appropriate association set for the desired music file, be it .MID, .WAV, .SWF, .CDA, ,MP3, .WM, .WMA, .WMV, .WVX, or whatever, you can simply do a Shell Execute function ... ShellExecute (hwnd, "open", "SomeFile.ext", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW); Sometimes, COM has to be initialized before doing this ... CoInitialize(NULL); ... and, if so, it has to be deinitialized when you are done ... CoUninitialize(NULL); Of course, there are *.Ex versions of these API's, which should be used in modern versions of Windows, so consult the API documentation.

How is OS2 loosely connected to Window NT?
Originally, Windows NT was to be known as OS/2 3.0; the connection is actually quite intimate. Windows NT resulted from the fact that IBM and Microsoft decided to go their own ways with OS/2 after the success of Windows 3.0. Microsoft added a Windows-like API to "their" OS/2, on top of the OS/2 API, and christened the result "Windows NT" (mid 1993; there were a number of other differences between early Windows NT and OS/2, but the API was the principal one). IBM continued development of OS/2, with a more-or-less "native" API. Windows NT and OS/2 continued to diverge over the next few years. For more, see this excellent article on Windows NT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT
