It's an update for stability I assume. Everyone has to do it.
Better coded platform.

They're probably converting to a more similar way in which they have source functioning on Linux, apparently they were able to make it more stable and run faster in DirectX, after having some experience with OpenGL which was necessary for making it work on linux (which is one of their big projects atm). Kind of interesting how that works, really.

Anyhow unless you like playing singleplayer CS:S, it's time to update dat shiz.
