Well thank the almighty government and the huge taxes levied on magazines and papers

I'm not even sure you can get directX on cover disks any more, MS just put a stop to their products being put on magazines recently. If you can find a copy from last month then you're grand but I'd check the contents before purchasing from here on out.
