Yeah, it's going to use a whole new GUI. Kind of like how Mac OS X uses OpenGL, the new one will use DirectX or whatever Microsoft rolls out with next. EDIT: I just read that article. Wow, atleast SM 2.0 required...wow. I wonder if people will have cards to handle that by then. For ATIs that would be atleast a Radeon 9500 and for NVIDIA it would be atleast a GeForce FX 5200.
