Windows 7 on T43 w/Intel graphics

[nmi]

I have been running Win7 on several machines; T43P, T43 w/ATI X300, T42P, T42 w/ATI 9600; all with good results. I was thinking of trying it on one of my T43's with the Intel graphics. Will it do Aero? Thanks.

No it won't. VGA adapter itself is technically capable for Aero Glass and some early betas of Vista had needed drivers for Aero and it worked but neither released Vista nor Windows 7 have proper WDDM drivers for GMA900.

There has been a lot of talking about GMA900+Aero, just Google it and you can read for hours

It appears that there may be some good news in this area:

I will try this, and post the results.

Looks like this was a red herring. Despite a release date of 01/04/11, this Intel software package does not include a WDDM driver for the Intel integrated graphics.
