ah, licence purists strikes...

Anyway congratulation. I don't have any laptop with nv so I personally will not utilize it.

BTW I'm thinking about other nvidiot-issue. I have GTX970 that is HW-capable to display 4k @60Hz output via displayport 1.4 in HBR2 mode. Unfortunately nvidia didn't implemented HBR2 in drivers for WinXP so display at 4k is limited to 30Hz only, but it is in Win7 and Linux drivers. I read that this is because some missing support code in MS windows/libraries. The forceware driver version for XP and W7 is the same but differs in HBR2 support. I don't know if it was disabled in compile time or at runtime. AMD went further and for some radeon they implemented HBR2 support even in WinXP drivers so it is not an unbreakable boundary. I'm not sure if HBR2 is implemented in nouveau opensource linux driver, at least I did't find any reference in sources that I briefly searched but if so, maybe a possibility to backport to WinXP. Or maybe some unreleased magic nvidia code could did it but they later decided to not oficially implement it to WinXP drivers...
