Metro style
UX and Apps
• DirectX technologies like: Direct3D, Direct2D, DirectWrite
• Aero via the Desktop Window Manager (DWM)
• Single code base for ISVs
Availability

•
Reboot-less driver upgrade
Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR)
GPU preemption and fault tolerance
Single code base for IHVs - Improved reliability
Innovations

Collaboration and Remote Desktop Access APIs
DirectCompute
Key Scenarios on the Server
Windows Desktop Usage
Full Graphics
Driver
• Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8
• Render + Display + Protected Video playback
• Hardware accelerated Direct3D
• Discontinuing support for desktop modes less than 32 Bits Per Pixel
Display Only
Driver
• Supports display out functionality only
• No need for 2D and 3D acceleration in hardware
• Supports Metro style experience using inbox software rasterizer
• Hardware accelerated (region moves, mouse pointer)
• Multiple monitors

and Collaboration
Taking Advantage of the
Graphics Driver Model
WDDM Driver
VGA Driver
Hardware XDDM Driver
Virtualized XDDM driver
XDDM Mirror Driver
• No change to existing driver
• Drivers now certified specifically for Client vs. Server
• No support for less than 32 bpp desktop mode
• No change
• Automatic migration to Microsoft provided inbox Basic
Display Driver
• Basic Display Driver
• IHV provided WDDM Display Only Driver
• ISV provided WDDM Display only Driver
• Desktop Duplication API
• Existing applications will work
