I have no idea how Toontalk or SimCopter actually arrange for a DirectX 
upgrade, but it doesn't need to be *this* bad.  You should be able to get 
the code from Microsoft, or verify that the code came from Microsoft, so 
you're only making yourself vulnerable to / trusting / relying on Microsoft; 
not both Microsoft and SimCopter / Toontalk.
