The article mainly explores the difference with DWM (Desktop Window Manager) enabled and disabled. DWM's main role is to render all of the windows into separate buffers in memory and then "compose" them on the fly.

By default in W7 it is also enabled (the infamous Aero), but at least you can get rid of it.
