    Why is there a Directx 9 Runtime for Vista if Vista uses Directx 10? Is it true Directx 10 contains a skeleton core of Directx 9 components for backwards compatibility and if so is this here to update that? Or is this some kind of full blown Directx 9 for Vista and what will that do to Directx 10. I'm having some troubles with Directx 9 era games and was wondering about this.
