Any VESA-compatible graphics card can be used with Windows Vista, albeit with limited functionality. A DirectX 9 compatible card with at least 128 MB of RAM is required to use the Aero interface.
No. Nor is there any need to. Windows Vista (the only operating system that can run DirectX 10) also includes DirectX 9 for backwards-compatibility.
Yes ofcourse! It says on the official site that it supports windows vista and 7 too but I'm not sure whether the game will change your directx to 9 during installation.
Yes, and no. On certain versions of Vista, it will run fine. On some, it seems to not be able to run in DirectX 9. It'll run on any other DirectX level, though.
Not to my knowledge.
Yes.

When a person is gaming (ie. World of Warcraft, Far Cry 3, Dead Space 1, 2, or 3) it seems that Windows DirectX 9 works better than the current DirectX software out today. You get slightly better performance using DirectX 9 which is important to PC gaming. Also, there have been many reported crashes on such games as Far Cry 3 when running with the current DirectX software today. DirectX 9 doesn't have as many crash reports.
