I've been using DirectX 7 for my games i've made, this is mainly because DirectX8 was meant to have a bad rep for 2D programming and at the moment thats all i'm really doing. But DirectDraw is meant to be back in DirectX9 and I was wondering if theres lots of changes that I could benifit from if I start using DirectX9 instead of 7. I've still got to get round to downloading the SDK for 9 but hopefully I'll get round to it soon.
