DirectX license

[Daniel Kanev]

If I want to use DirectX for writing commercial apps, do I have to pay Microsoft for that. Will it be OK if I buy only Visual Studio 6.

Using DirectX for a commercial application does not require paying a license.

If you decide to become a software engineer, you are signing up to have a 1/2" piece of silicon tell you exactly how stupid you really are for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week Zac

No. Last time I checked, you have to pay ME to do that :)
