DirectX 8.0 Gone Gold

UPDATE - Downloads have been added! Several DirectX beta testers wrote in to let us know that DirectX 8.0 has gone gold and is now available for download from Microsoft's beta testing site, betaplace.com. For those of you who may not be able to download it from there, as you have to be an official beta tester to do so, you can look for the final version of DirectX to be downloadable from Microsoft sometime before 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, November 11th. For more information about DirectX, visit Microsoft.
