Quote from Microsoft's DirectX site:
"Microsoft® DirectX® is a group of technologies designed by Microsoft to make Windows-based computers an ideal platform for running and displaying applications rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3-D animation, and surround sound.
Built directly into the Microsoft® Windows® family of operating systems, DirectX is an integral part of Windows 98 and Windows 2000, as well as Microsoft® Internet Explorer.

Microsoft's goal in developing DirectX was to provide developers with a common set of instructions and components that would allow developers to be confident that their multimedia applications would run on any Windows-based PC, no matter what the hardware, and at the same time ensure that their products take full advantage of high-performance hardware capabilities to achieve the best possible performance.
