Is it possible to use D3D and DI using just CoCreateInstance in C++? I found the IID_ for the classes but not the CLSID_

no they use class factorys and have several limitations which prevent the from being created in this way.

consult the lists, http://DISCUSS.MICROSOFT.COM/archives/DIRECTXDEV.html, for a recent discussion on this topic.

find / -name "your base" -exec chown -R us:us {} ;

Wonder why they didn''t just use a plain class with virtual functions instead of all this COM stuff?

not being tied to just c++ is a good reason.

find / -name "your base" -exec chown -R us:us {} ;
