You're right, we already have a kind-of working wddm driver for
32bit Vista & 7. The major advantage of wddm driver is that no
system files replacement is needed any more and thus no safe mode
guest addition install is required. Also Aero theme can now be
enabled in guests.<br>
The major concern so far is performance and we're working on it.<br>
Alexey Eromenko already gave you a brief explanation on how guest 3d
works. I can only add that wddm driver still uses wined3d internally
and translates d3d requests to opengl commands being passed to host
via "Chromium".<br>
