UK magazine Custom PC reports that Windows 7 will feature WARP, which lets any computer with an 800MHz processor run Aero-style desktop transparency and, with a certain performance hit, the Direct3D requirements for video games.

What a load of baloney. You can't even *install* Vista on an 800 MHz CPU, but "Windows 7" will run perfect and fast on it, complete with advanced graphics!

I'm guessing that the next revelation - by some equally obscure "PC magazine" in Katmandu - will be that when you fart in front of any "Windows 7" machine with a 3.5" floppy drive, a little hand will come out of the floppy drive slot and wave it away.
