Virtual machines use virtual hardware... generally pretty low end hardware
at that. Although I haven't checked, I'm fairly certain there's no virtual
machine software that emulates a DirectX 10 card.

So the short answer is, probably not any time soon.

Virtual Machines do not support Accelerated graphics, well on the Windows
side at least. VMWares Fusion 1.1 RC supports DirectX 8.1, but is no DX 10

you could do that (DirectX 8.1) with vmware desktop if you manually added 2
lines in the vmx configuration file

everyone is working on this... to have acceleration in virtual machines.
Paralles did it with the new version 3.0 (only on MAC version)
