In total, so far there were two reasons for me to update the DX9 legacy components in Win7:
1) Worms Reloaded on Steam (did it manually as mentioned on Team17 forum, just to be annoyed by Steam many times after to update my up-to-date DirectX and Visual C++ runtimes).
2) Quake 1, as in DirectQ (the code base of all other OpenGL ports is soooo 1997).
GIVE OUT PORTAL FOR FREE ON OS X

I know how to avoid the Direct X installs. Unfortunately, it cuts the amount of actual games available to you way down.
