DirectX 7A released

Microsoft has released DirectX7A. Whee. More bug fixes from the company that never seems to release a stable product. . .

But WAIT! I heard a rumor that Win2000 Workstation is more stable than NT4! My response, you ask?!?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha....

Update by A.T. Hun, 11:35 A.M.: As of right now, the above link does not work. I went to M$'s site and found this information on the new version:
DirectX 7.0a is an update to DirectX 7.0, providing improved force feedback performance and the best compatibility with today's input devices. This latest version of DirectX also offers excellent graphics, faster frame rates, and more immersive audio when running and displaying programs rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3-D animation, and surround sound. If you had an earlier version of DirectX installed on your system, you will see difference in available space on your hard drive, since DirectX 7.0a will overwrite the earlier version.
You can download the update from MS's home user DirectX download page. The direct link to the English version is right here (6,341K).
