I used the web version to avoid downloading 95MB unless I needed it.
Only noticeable change was an offer to install Bing toolbar and new graphics for the setup wizard. DX version was last June's (which was already installed).
Looks more like an attempt to push Bing toolbar than anything.

You're kidding, right? Like you don't realize that the web installer downloads the files in the background? You think that magical 1MB download is all you need?

this is not an updated DirectX Runtime but just an update to the installer. So June 2010 remains the latest.

It is what I needed.

The quality of files are undeniable. It is MUST-HAVE for gamers.
But the size of installer is big, while Microsoft did not remove superseded (version) files.

Yes you do need the redistro if you want to ensure that all components that can be updated are, the web installer has a habit of missing some components in my experience, its best to just grab the latist redistro installer when it comes out and save it incase you endup needing it :)
note: this is a must if you play games.

Get the web installer instead from their homepage. For my Windows 7 x64 installation it downloaded a whooping 1MB instead of the huge redistributable.

"you can't live without this."
Sure you can. In most cases the game/tech that requires this will include it anyway and install for you.

there is really no rating to this, its core of windows systems, you can't live without this.

When windows becomes open source-NEVER-then u can complain about this not being so

@PagingDrLeoMarvin: So youre giving it a bad rating cause it isn't opensource?
Please don't troll around here PagingDrLeoMarvin.
DirectX is a set of good quality librarys... deserves a 5.
