It's another self-fulfilling prophecy: the only reason why we need the GPU
to
render the desktop is because we've decided to make the desktop use 3D
features, otherwise the CPU is sufficient. I can't think of a time when I
had
an issue where my CPU was bogged down rendering the desktop, at least not
since Windows 3.1 using a non-accelerated standard VGA card.

Screen tearing is a major problem with XP. Just because you don't see it,
doesn't mean it doesn't exist. 3D has nothing to do with it. If XP was
rendered the same way then the same problem would be relieved. However,
that would be overkill. So what's wrong with beefing things up a little?


Oh great, so now it won't be content to index my documents without my
permission, but will now start sneaking out and molesting my network
without
asking my permission? I hope not.

Permission? What are you talking about? Turn off the indexing if you don't
like it.


One thing that wasn't brought up with the searching is that it's instant.
So yes, this will benefit the consumer greatly.
