I just read that EMC10 installs DX9 under Vista. Is this true? If so, why is that necessary? Could it not have simply used the DirectX 10 included in Vista?

I don't think it does - actually I don't think Vista will allow it
Apart from that, we do tell people to make sure they update to the latest DirectX for their machine manually, along with checking for the latest video drivers from the card makers

Hello thank you for your quick reply!
My apologies - I should have given the link I read this at..
http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/MyDVD/000162CR
The new EMC10 looks great and I want to try it out, however this gives me pause. I don't want to install an older version of DirectX on my machine?

Actually the DirectX 9 is not so much an older version as a different version - as I said, it probably won't install on a Vista machine. Even if it does, it should install in parallel with DX10 and won't overwrite it.
However, even tho Direct X 10 may have been installed with your Vista, it's always as well to check for newer releases from MS anyway - they tend to update it every couple of months
I've never actually heard (yet) of anyone having DirectX problems on any OS unless their copy is way out of date

Just as a follow-up on that - I did a fresh install of Vista Ultimate and then installed DirectX 10 before I did anything else - there were quite a few DirectX 9 files went in along with SDK 'updates' dating back to April 2006 - and that was the installation from Microsoft 
So - nothing to worry about with the EMC 10 installation - MS put some DX 9 components in already
