This maybe not really new news but even I just found this. I never have my Windows Automatic Updates turned on that maybe the cause I miss this update. While I am not really sure what they update in this release here is quote from the download definition.
The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime provides updates to 9.0c and previous versions of DirectX - the core Windows® technology that drives high-speed multimedia and games on the PC.
Some of you might noticed, updates to 9.0c is not new, it is old version of DirectX but there must be something new in this package.
I found 3 versions of them DirectX® End-User Runtime, DirectX SDK - (August 2007) and DirectX Redist (August 2007). All of them required you to have genuine Windows with WGA check to download.
Special for non-genuine Windows user, direct download link to Microsoft Windows DirectX Redist (August 2007).
