Fixes

If you install this build in VMware, you can enable aero (for Home Premium, Business and Ultimate, for Home Basic only the non-transparant aero is enabled), Starter does not support it.

Follow these steps to enable it:

Set Composition Policy in the Registry:
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM and set CompositionPolicy to 2.

Install the VMware Video Drivers:
Get the Windows WDDM Driver for VMware Workstation from the download page here and install the WDDM Driver Package for the correct architecture.

Reboot and Aero is automatically enabled.
