I'm sure WinHEC information will be posted here and on other sites as it's released. And yes, it would appear that build 6801, a much older build dating from the PDC days, will continue to be distributed in favor of newer builds, so as to avoid leaks.

Thank you for giving me the answer.

I want to know that, I have old laptop.

Athlon Turion 64 1.6G, SIS 760GX display card.

And Win7 can run aero mode by that hardware?

if you said true.

I feel lose.

In vista, my old laptop never run by aero mode.

But, I see that Win7 will let cpu support DX9/DX10, if video card can't be supported, Win7 will let cpu run?

is it?

The new WARP feature you mentioned here need a powerful CPU like Core i7

Haha! You're waiting for a leak, aren't you? Don't lie now! :p

No, you need a processor that is 800Mhz or more. We aren't sure if Windows 7 will allow users who don't have a DX10 card run Aero etc. Don't take 'WARP' seriously. It's just allowing DX9/10 operations be ran on CPU's. But that doesn't mean that you don't need a graphics card anymore, because CPU's are very inefficient. It's more designed for developers than actual home consumer users, like gamers for example.

I think that is one question alot of ppl are asking and want an answer for, will it allow us to run aero and the eye-candy on older non wddm chipsets such as the intel 915..someone at Microsoft needs to nail this question..anybody know how we can get an answer?

could running the os gdi using a software driver be the future? if you think about it, this would be a neat concept..run the entire os using only the cpu, until a program call for more graphical resources such as 3d, then the graphics chip set turns on and instantly you have that extra ummph to run the program..in theory i think this would further reduce power consumption on the platform which would really help the netbook cause
