Despite being more recent API XInput actually is less capable than DI8. Most
correct way to compare these API's would be to think about DI8 as a "general
and pretty complicated API for handling input devices" while XInput is more
likely "API for handling some Xbox360 game input controllers". You may wish to
read Wiki page titled something like "XInput vs. DirectInput" for more
detailed analysis.

P.S. Resending this message to wine-devel list, forgot to CC.
