Q: WGF
I would like to ax you something about future of DX:
I finally learnt DX just recently and successfully created few DX games and demos. But since DX9 is the last version and the next "big thing in graphics" will be WGF, is it wise to continue learning DX? I mean, is it worth it? WGF will definitely have totally different API and I will have to learn it all over again :(
Im seriously thinking about OpenGL ... I have some experience in that area, but I dont like OpenGL API ;)

Regardless of whether or not WGF is totally different, there is no reason to abandon DX9. It will drive the same hardware, so the basic concepts have to be the same and really it is the concepts that are the important part. The API is just the syntactic layer on top of the concepts.
Keep learning and if you really understand what you are doing then switching to another API will not be very difficult at all.
