XP SP2 and DirectX 9.0C??

Question

I was browsing thru the XP SP2 newsgroups, and someone mentioned that SP2 includes DirectX 9.0C.  Is this true, and if so, do you have the option of not installing it with SP2?

Expect the final release fo SP2 sometime around Labor Day and Flooby is right, what you see know, may not even look close to what the final version is.

One thing for sure is the security aspect of SP2, your machine will have all security features turned on by default.

Since the final release version of SP2 for WinXP isn't even available yet, it's going to be a bit hard for anyone to guess.  Last I heard, Microsoft wasn't even sure what the final version was going to contain, nor had they revealed much of anything regarding installation options.
