    Read the link. It's a major upgrade to Vista. Puts in DX11, adds Direct Compute, hardware driven GUI for both 3D and 2D, Changed how portable devices are used, etc.

    It won't be staying on for long... Assuming Dell gets their asses in gear and ships out the Windows 7 upgrade DVD's... /sigh

    It's good to see Direct 2D and Direct Compute are available for Vista now. Hopefully this will increase the rate of developer's adoption of them....
