MS DirectX 6.1 Released

MS DirectX 6.1 moves into players' hands through a shipment, demo, patch, beta, or gold master in February 1999.

MS DirectX 6.1 is out now, moving from press-release promise to something players can actually buy, install, or fire up.

The names attached here include Microsoft, With DirectMusic, Microsoft's, SDK, and The DirectX. The hook is DirectMusic. The hard numbers include 6.1.

Good. More games, more patches, more demos. The stack keeps growing, and nobody around here is pretending that is a problem.
