Please, try to use your minds sometimes, it might help you to better understand things. Also, there is the "DX9 on the box" issue.

Take a few minutes to read the Russian forums on the DX9 issue. You will find that they are expressing exactly the same sentiments regarding the inclusion of DX9 in which this forum is venting. No difference!

Without empirical data on the Eastern Block usage of computers and operating systems - and the percentage of those that fly CLOD - your comment is just opinion not fact.

The DX9 on the box is however, a legal issue that needs to be dealt with. How it is being dealt with does not appear deemed to be acceptable to either the Western or Eastern countries CLOD forums.

In my opinion, I think that the devs. have reasoned this out and have to select the process that they, with all the information and planning that they have (and we do NOT) are driving the process the best that they can from their perspective.

Just using my mind as you put it.
