For Windows Advocates: DX10 for Windows XP?

Hi Windows Advocates, wherever you are! :)

So, is it true that DirectX 10 is Vista-only? DX10, the newest
iteration of the DirectX drivers, mainly aimed at hard core gamers, is
for a version of Windows that gamers generally doesn't use?

I just built myself a new high end gaming PC with DX10-capable graphic
cards, and can't find good information from MS on the matter. Maybe I
don't know how to browse their site correctly

Microsoft DirectX Downloads

The link "DirectX End-User Runtimes Web Installer" seemed like the
most likely one, I clicked it, it downloaded an installer and now I'm
good to go. Right?

I don't know. How do I see what DX version I have installed? is there
a DX10 for Windows XP? Do I have to install Windows Vista?
