Everything, Everything

It was nice to see Windows 7 natively supporting my Intel 965 graphics card (GMA X3100) with a WDDM 1.1 driver. It would have been nicer if the "Panel Fit" options actually worked. I decided to install World of Warcraft and lower the resolution to help increase the framerate. It looked fine, but everything was very small in the middle of my screen. It seems that the supplied Intel driver will ignore GPU scaling. They're probably not the only one, I read that ATI had similar issues with their early drivers. My workaround for the Intel problem was to install the Vista driver (the installer queried the older version over the newer version, but didn't seem to have a problem with me using the "wrong" OS). Sure, they're probably only WDDM 1.0, and they're an older version (7.15.10.1666 - I presume the major version was bumped up because of Windows 7, but the minor version is still a lot lower), but I can now play games at a lower resolution and see them displayed full screen rather than have a big chunky black border. On the downside, I can see some flickering on Flash adverts (but 4oD seems to work fine). I can't imagine the move from Vista to Windows 7 is that difficult, especially for an option that I'd imagine would be relatively simple to implement. I hope Intel sort this out by October.

EDIT: The flickering appears to have gone away after restarting. Now I can't see any problems with using the Vista driver (but there's probably something I haven't spotted yet).
