Yup.

Microsoft wants to drive people to Windows 8 so they can make money. People staying on Windows 7 doesn't make them anything. Thus, Microsoft is intentionally making up "reasons" for people to switch.

That's two assumptions.

I have a single assumption, it needs WDDM1.2.

You think that it is an assumption that Microsoft wants to make money and that by forcing people to buy, even if it is just $15 or $40, a Windows 8 upgrade to get this new feature, as opposed to adding WDDM1.2 to Windows 7 in a Service Pack?

Really?

Right but you can show gravity, as a theory, in effect. Can you show that Windows 7 can't be updated to WDDM1.2 via a platform update like Vista was?

People are quite correctly calling bullcrap. There's a difference between this and the update to 10 from 9 (Where Windows Vista was so radically different from Windows XP, that Windows XP couldn't include it at all without a major, expensive, rewrite)... Whereas Windows 7 and Windows 8 are very, very similar.

There is no reason that Windows 7 couldn't have this update and enjoy some of those improvements.

Except that doesn't net any $$££ for MS.
