DirectX 10?

Where can I go to download DirectX 10? I looked on microsoft's website but I couldnt find it.

I have DX9 with an 8800GTS. I went and picked up World in Conflict this weekend which is a DirectX10 game, but it didnt install it on my PC during intallation.

I opened the install CD and only DX9 is on there, I looked on the utilities disk for my "DX10 capable card" from eVGA and only DX9 is on there.

I went to microsoft's page to download "the newset version" and it brought me here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

...an update for DC9.0c. Am I missing something? Was it not released yet? I was under the impression it was released last Novemeber.


Can anyone fill me in?

Thanks

Assuming you have XP in your sig, you can't install DX10 on XP. You'll have to go to Vista for that. Your stuck with DX9 until then.
