Rumor mill? I wasn't going to be specific, but you asked me to so I did. And I specifically tried to indicate that I expect this stuff is upcoming, this was simply a first basic test. You really do go out of your way to take offense at anything less than unrestrained praise.
You took it the wrong way. I don't want rumors to spread...if people saw your post and I didn't reply, they'ed most likely assume it's true...and bang goes a sale.;)
As for the rest, sure, the next demo will feature some cool things, including pixel shader2.0 fx.
