Mr. Scott, Give Me WARP!

This doesn't have WARP, it's a Mac!

Microsoft announced on November 28th that they will be including WARP (Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform) technology in Windows 7, their next major release OS.  This technology uses a software rasterizer to render DirectX 10 and 10.1 graphics using the CPU alone.  WARP technology is said to support up to 8x multi-sampled anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering and all optional texture formats via this MSDN release.
