Actually, IIRC the only requirement for DWM to work was a GPU that supports shaders, because that's what makes the window border translucency/blur effect possible.

Compatible driver, actually. There were at least DWM 1.0 (Vista) and DWM 1.2 (Win7), but Intel never provided a compatible driver for... 915? Series, so you could't enable composition on them, despite hardware were capable enough.
