This has been explained in the sticky Post Andy put up the day the patch was released entitled

Using this mode instead of DirectX solves the problems with the Windows Aero interface destroying the game palette if you minimised it.

As well, all that info is on page one of the game guide in the
Tuning Your Machine
Section
What version of DirectX you use is irrelevant to what Win7 does
