Microsoft's Manhattan Project

DirectX hasn't always been called directx... And the logo used to be the picture of a "Radiation Warning" sign. Microsoft called their DirectX project the "Manhattan Project" because they were trying to rival the video game makers in Japan.

Contributor's Note

I got this from a speech by Alex St. John, but summarized it. He made this during the PAX '06 Keynote.

I hope that I did this right, its my first one.
