Microsoft's Graphics Team program manager, Jianye Lu, explained in Tuesday's blog post that Blizzard asked Microsoft to throw them a bone after boosting World Of Warcraft's performance with DX12 on Windows 10. Having the exclusive lock on DX12 was one of the main ways Microsoft nudged people towards Windows 10, after all. This isn't the full DirectX 12 package and doesn't bring all the performance improvements of DX12, to be clear, but it is a nice little bonus.
World Of Warcraft is the first game to benefit from DX12 features including multithreading on Windows 7, and Microsoft say they're working with several other developers to juice their games up on Windows 7 too. Microsoft have brought some of DirectX 12's performance-improving parts to Windows 7, ending years of DX12 being exclusive to Windows 10.
