Very nice d00d. Does it have an uninstall tool or is it like the other one where you can't uninstall it?

Oops, I did post in the wrong forums LOL. will move it.

Still no go on an un-install tool, per the notes on the page

So, this is the full version and not a beta?



Zone

yes, full version not a beta

does it improve gaming performance?

Knowing microsoft it'll function more like a beta anyway. hake:

Early reports state that it fixes some glitches in many games and a slight increase in fps.

Is Windows 98 better than Win95? The fact that no games support DX9 yet FULLY (Doom III is expected to be the first to support it fully), means that you won't see much difference in games that don't use it.

True, not to mention many current video cards which are not optimized for Direct X 9. I heard that Direct X 10 is already in beta testing.
