Difference between DX 9.0 and 9.0a?

9.0a is newers and has some nessesary bug fixes. I don't even think M$ will allow one to download 9.0 anymore. There might even be security issues. But I know for a fact that it fixes quite a few bugs, and is newer, which is why you should grab DX 9.0a NOW!

I have already installed it, but I just thought it would be nice to know what they have fixed in this newer version. :hammer:

When dx9 first came out, i put it in and could not use voice or remote on windows messenger, and it made the horse on 3dmark01se have huge holes in it and a few other odd things. When i went to do system restore, it turned out that while drinking a few days earlier with a friend, he turned off my system restore like an idiot trying to help save disc space. And i had to reformat to regain my business again since i rely heavely on remote and voice for after care of customers.
Another lesson learded: dont trust m$ and dont let anyone who (thinks they know lots) touch your computer.

Now dx9a works great since its needed for 3dmark03
