Well, I've installed Dx11 with the beta platform update, now all I need to do is uninstall everything and I'll be set! ;)

Seriously, I may have to pick up a copy before the price rockets after release. It may come in handy further down the line.

Somebody was doing it for £60 recently (I don't know if that's good or not), and I can't remember who :oops:
