But here's a link as to what mobos have it onboard and what can have it added: Text for your Link Edit: Looks like windows supports it with display minus a couple features you can even get some features of Apple's Thunderbolt Display working if you're willing to accept a lack of pre-supplied software brightness controls and USB support. http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/12/thunderbolt-on-windows-gets-hands-on/ Also looks like the thunderbolt add in card from asus has a loop through a displayPort to support the display that way through the thunderbolt port
