Windows 7 is gonna be big. As a Windows user and lover since I was a wee tot, I hope with my heart of hearts that it is big. I want Microsoft to redeem themselves after Vista-gate. From the Beta and Release Client versions of Windows 7, we have seen that this may be the OS that we were looking for. Today on Microsoft blog, It was announced that AMD is currently working with Microsoft to perfect the visuals of Windows 7. This is what Nigel Dessau said today on the Microsoft blog:
AMD just announced the WHQL-certified ATI Catalyst (TM) 9.7 Unified Driver (you can download the ATI Catalyst driver here). This is a crucial piece of the puzzle designed to help you get the most out of your ATI Radeon (TM) graphics technology when running Windows 7. This, combined with the upcoming DirectX® 11- (DX11) enabled ATI Radeon graphics cards, will help deliver something we like to call The Ultimate Visual Experience (TM).
One feature of AMD’s DX11-enabled graphics cards that is designed to enhance Windows 7 in all new ways is the compute shader, which allows our ATI Stream technology to help enable what I was getting at before – that seamless user experience. This technology enables a wide number of Windows 7 applications to be sped up in a way that’s completely transparent to users. For example, it can accelerate the conversion of video for playback on portable media players through a simple drag-and-drop interface. Something that consumers everywhere are used to taking an hour can now happen in just a few minutes
With this news, we at Geek Spot are starting to like they way Win7 is shaping up. I love a pretty UI (Who doesn't) and that will be an amazing step forward in graphics technology.
Let's go Windows 7, Let's Go!
