There is no need to download DirectX for Vista. it already bundles the latest version of DirectX.
DirectX 10 is included with Windows Vista.
Microsoft's website is the best place to download DirectX for Vista. Microsoft offers all of their previous versions of DirectX on their website, which makes it very easy to update an older PC with the most recent software.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3 This downloads a program which detects your current installation, and downloads updated components, as well as installing them. Note: this is not for DirectX 10.x - that is a separate download.
Yes. Windows Vista includes DirectX 9.
DirectX 9 is included with Windows Vista.

Microsoft download site. DirectX is a free download for licensed Microsoft users.
Directx 11 can be downloaded from microsoft.com. It will be available on the Microsoft download center. if you are using Windows it can be downloaded for free here www.tomsguide.com/us/download/DirectX,0301-2158.html
You do not need to download DirectX 6.1. All versions of Windows from Windows 98 SE on up include DirecTX 6.1 or newer. If you have Windows 95, you should download DirectX 8.0a, available at the link below.
Windows Vista. DirectX is an API, not a program, and as such it has no specific requirements. To use DirectX 10 hardware features, you need a capable video card.
There is no need to download DirectX 3. Versions of DirectX up to DirectX 9 are backwards-compatible. So if you have one version, you can use games and programs that require a previous version. Besides, the DirectX 3 installerwasmeant to be used only on Windows 95, and would probably cause problems if installed on later versions.
DirectX 11 is not available for Windows XP, and there is not going to be a official release in the future for XP. But you can do something to get your XP up to Directx 11 levels. First you will need a PC running Vista or Windows 7, and install DirectX 11 Installation files on those computers. You can't download from Microsoft DirectX 11, or Microsoft will just make it look like you are getting the update files, but you actually getting the same old 9c Directx files. Anyway, from those Vista and Windows 7 systems that have a working copy of DirectX 11 on them you will need to look at 2 folders on those systems. One is in the Windows folder called "WinSxS", and contains the libraries, and the other is the "DirectX for Managed Code" folder located in the .NET directory, that also contains the XML libraries. All you really need to do is copy and paste the libraries from the Vista and or Windows 7 folders into the Windows XP SP3 directories. Let us not forget that Vista is also just Windows XP with a Windows 7 theme. So Vista and XP are actually twin systems. And the latest release of DirectX 11 is Vista and Win7 compatible. I have personally done this and it works great, and also the DXDIAG screen shows the Directx 11 installed in the system as well.
