Windows 7 will get acceleration using the GPU

Microsoft continues its forced march to bring out its next variation of Windows (Windows 7) as soon as possible. This has a heavy role to play since it has to take the place Vista that failed to convince the general public.
One now starts to know a little more about the system, but in fact, much less than what Microsoft did in the past. They now seem to want to play with secrecy and not to reveal information on what it will be able to do.
It is known now that this system, in the vein of Snow Leopard should be able to draw on the graphics processors so as to accelerate certain calculations. In an ideal world, Microsoft would take the train of the Open CL that Apple tries to impose as an open standard. But we are ready to bet that this acceleration will be supported by an API of Microsoft, a kind of Direct X adapted with the sauce GPGPU.
It will be interesting to follow the battle between Snow Leopard and this new Windows. Both are supposed to want to be based on a new bases, which will then be further updated as the OS in our machines in the next years. It will, not only be necessary to take up the challenge of acceleration using GPGPU, but especially, to manage with the maximum effectiveness the multiplication of the cores that marketing at Intel brings to the top, since this is the only means of not falling behind Moore's Law.
It is certain that it will not be a small matter for the two giants (funny to say that of Apple now).
