Mein gohtt.. DirectX 8 has many components, among which are:
Direct3d DirectSound DirectPlay DirectShow D irectInput...etc
However anyone comparing directx and opengl is pretty clearly, so long as the reader has ANY SEMBLANCE OF A MIND that the comparison is referring to Direct3d.
Furthermore, DirectX 9 will reintroduce the 2d component, but integrate it with the 3d (I've only used 8 but I believe 7 didn't like people to use the 2d component and the 3d one at the same time.
Obviously this will not clear up any confusion whatsoever. Thak you for your time.
