The GMA is the bottleneck as Intel's GMA series is beyond terrible; The article you link to states that it's barely able to play Quake 3 smoothly at 800x600. The reason the Dell would have been able to keep up on lowest setting was because it had a Radeon Mobility which, despite being older, is still better than a GMA.

You're implying that it's only being made for shits and giggles, which is not the case. Malware makes money for a variety of reasons, non of them are good.
Also, Protip: Do at least one malware scan on everything you download.

That brings up another point of contention I have with the game. The game feels like it's railroading your weapon choices by limiting the available ammo to one or two types at a time, which means the weapons charm wear off quicker than they should.
Bear in mind THQ still hold the 40k game rights so it's probably going to be Warhammer Fantasy rather than 40k, as awesome as 40k: Total Warhammer would be.
Really enjoyed Reelism this year, because nothing says "joy" like setting Bronies on fire. Repeatedly.
Also CoDo II: Green Ops for the Mockaward, should it exist this year.
I've tried a handful of games on 1.0 and had (mostly rendering, though one refuses to load) issues with every single one.
EDIT: Scratch that, I've had good luck with one of them (Maximo).
