Malfador has never gone for the latest graphics tech. SE5 requires only DX 8.1, and it came out well into the DX 9 era. I doubt SE6 will even require DX 9...
A couple of years from now, DX10 may well be compulsory with DX9 support going the way of OpenGL.

DX10 is Microsoft's big carrot/stick for forcing Vista adoption (and all the DRM-goodness that will allow MS to screw the MPAA/RIAA) so it is likely that they will ramp up the pressure for its adoption, moving from persuasion to coercion.
