Are they still accepting applications for beta testing of DX9? That'll probably be you're best bet. Would distribution of beta software to people who aren't registered beta testers classify as wa|2ez?

1. I believe the beta is closed but I'm not certain on that.
2. Not exactly since DirectX IS freeware but it is a touchy subject. Common practice is that it can be discussed but not distributed.

I haven't installed DX9 on .NET yet so I can't help there. Supposedly the Directx 8 uninstallers work but I am unsure.
