Vista - Glass on 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

DELL laptop?
