Aero was a source of significant slowdown and as such has been ovehauled. I though Aero was using D2D but I must have gotten confused since MSDN obviously states it is for W7.
I believe Aero uses D3D...
I don't know how much of a slowdown Aero was. Not much, I'd say, to my own experience. But it was a resource hog. That much is known.
And I don't think Aero has been overhauled. Improved, yes.
At least I haven't heard of any such information.
