glass intel 900

I installed Vista Beta 2 (build 5384) on a Dell Latitude 120L that has 1.25GB memory and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900. I activated Vista and my performance factor is 2. I cannot see Aero Glass anywhere, just the standard themes. Any ideas? Thanks

That graphics accelator is not supported by WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model).
The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 on both the Intel® 945G and Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipsets will support the Windows Vista Display Driver model (WDDM) drivers.

GMA900 doesn't do DirectX 9.0 shaders in Hardware but utilizes the CPU for that task, Running a 3D Desktop that heavily relies on shaders would really slow down the OS
