) but just an observation: I see no good reason to worry about why new versions of DX should not be recommended or be unnecessary. I've heard people complaining sometimes that Windows/DX updates caused problems but IMO it is because of crappy/unbalanced/incompatible hardware. Personally, (after the demise of 3Dfx) I have been building exclusively Pentium + nVIDIA based machines and I have never had ANY problems with newer versions of DX or ANY of MS Windows updates/patches. Not a single problem ever while many of my friends with AMDs/ATIs on some cheaper motherboards and no-name RAM have been complaining quite a bit.
