Re: Direct 3D

The direct 3D support will be a great improvement as a lot of entertainment and CAD software depends on it. This will be a lot like Parallel VM

Don't get your hopes up to high. While it may be able to run those programs, it is unlikely it will run CAD and other such programs with decent performance. Even though it enables 3D acceleration, it's still layered in software. Also, full support isn't always guaranteed.

Btw, does anyone know if any software can provide Direct X over RDP ?

Unless you have a super fast network, I doubt you'd get any RDP to stream fast enough to enable full 3D support or see the benefits without a huge performance hit. Considering there is a good bit of lag with software rendering across a 100Mbps LAN, I'd say even a 1Gbps LAN wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand that DirectX 3D would require. Not to mention soak up the bandwidth making the connection useless for even surfing web pages. Just my opinion though.
