I would like to see more cross platform gaming. OpenGl is a rather competent API. Though, I'm going to go against the gaming grain when I say that...to a point, graphics do matter, it definitely adds a degree of immersion and helps along the suspension of disbelief.
Luckily, so far anyway, very few games REQUIRE DX10 (and I have Halo 2 on the XBOX so why would I bother anyway). But if I have a great game that runs in DX9c and it looks even better in DX10, that's more of an added bonus to me. Not that I have vista or anything nor do I intend on getting it soon since I enjoy great old games as much as I do great new ones, I have quite a repertoire of games to play from the early Win9x days and, thanks to DOSBox, even further back.
