Bootcamp Windows with new 9400m and trackpad

With Windows XP pro installed I noticed a MASSIVE increase in temperature to the touch on the case.

I guessed it was because the super cool NVIDIA GeForce 9400M video chip was not being used and the powerful NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT was, and running at about 72 degree centigrade!

My question is whether bootcamp will get drivers for windows to run that super cool NVIDIA GeForce 9400M video chip?

I much prefer Mac OSX system to Windows, but occasionally use windows.

Also that lovely new glass trackpad kind of works in bootcamped windows xp, but not as well as in OSX, I don't think the driver are full for the new features of the new glass trackpad.
Will they be improved?

This new laptop is great. Nice work apple 🙂

Well, today I picked up my laptop from Apple store.
It took them just one day to replaced the whole logic board.
Thanks Apple Store London, Regents St

Now the 9600 idles 20 degrees C less at about 50 degrees C!

Lots of testing to do yet, but its looking promising.
