DirectX® 9.0b

It's not official YET, but at least it IS straight from the evil empire!

It's in the right sidebar!
Ooops! That's the developer SDK runtime
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c64e9f07-b562-4849-ad61-b2fc7fa55fd9&displaylang=en
It's BIG, and includes both debug and retail runtime - AND the full reference rasteriser (for graphically correct, but VERY slow results, even if your card does not support DX9 - and minimal support seems to mean DX7 level drivers or better)

A battery of info for you - culled from several forums.
There is a bug/exploit possible with DX9.0a and earlier (basically ALL versions from 5.2 upwards)
http://news.com.com/2100-1002_3-5053428.html?tag=fd_top

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-030.asp
(Patches for all versions)
DX9.0b Web setup (page)

DX9.0b Redistributable (multilingual for developers) - I know it's a dupe, but this is for completeness (page)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a6dee0db-dcce-43ea-87bb-7c7e1fd1eaa2&DisplayLang=en

Note: DirectX 9.0b has been released at the same time as this security bulletin and contains the security fix discussed in the security bulletin. DirectX 9.0b can be installed on all versions of Windows except Windows NT 4.0 and can be downloaded from the following location:
(See above ... also Win95 excluded)
