XNA4 and PointSprites

Now that in XNA 4 the Point sprites are removed, will you update the book to support XNA 4?


How can I change the Particle system to work with XNA 4?

You can just use a regular triangle list instead of point sprites.  It would take a bit of rework.  I'm sure that Microsoft will update their Particle3D example before an update to the book becomes available.
