    Well thank the almighty government and the huge taxes levied on magazines and papers :)

    I'm not even sure you can get directX on cover disks any more, MS just put a stop to their products being put on magazines recently. If you can find a copy from last month then you're grand but I'd check the contents before purchasing from here on out.

    From http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/33021.html
    "Downloading Microsoft products from the www.microsoft.com/downloads site ensures that the customer is receiving the most up to date version of a service pack, patch, update or trial product, and also provides the added reassurance that they are receiving the original product."
