I've got hold of a copy of the DirectX 9 SDK beta. It comes with the interesting warning:

--------------------------------------------
This beta version expires on Aug 20, 2002.
You will need to reinstall Windows if you do not
have a valid DX9 ID & password to download Beta 2
--------------------------------------------

Anyone in a position to comment on exactly what Microsoft think they have the right to do to an end users PC? Less of a legal argument, more of a technical "what-they-gonna-do". Format c: would be too easy.
