Sure, waiting is good.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for MS to do it, ever. There may be a tiny chance it will be included in Win8 but other than that I strongly doubt it. Basically, it is not a problem that can cause data loss, so MS is going to put it at the bottom of the
TODO list unless a WHOLE LOT LOT LOT of people complain about it.
I just read this article a couple of hours ago. It explains why the chances of the feature returning are close to zero: http://ask-leo.com/why\_didnt\_microsoft\_fix\_this\_horrible\_bug.html
That is way off topic, but it happens to be an area of interest to me. A few months back with a friend I setup a computer to HD projector "over-the-air" connection using a tool that costs around USD500. It consisted of 2 boxes about the size of cable modems.
(google is your friend, there are more and more products that will do it for you. Talk to your local TV store or computer shop. Here are a few links with various solutions I've collected:

PS: If you want to get the maximum benefit from that HD screen, you will have to sit surprisingly close to it. Here is an extract from an article that says your best viewing distance is only 28" (ie desktop!), max 60".

To calculate the optimal viewing distance for a 1080p screen, THX (the video and audio company founded by director George Lucas) recommends multiplying your diagonal screen size by 1.2. For a 50-inch HDTV, that works out to 5 feet; and for a 70-inch screen,
7 feet. These distances may seem short for viewing such large screens, but the added picture detail in HD video allows you to get closer than would be recommended for standard-definition screens, so you can immerse yourself in the action. Of course, if you
prefer, you can sit further back--up to about 2.5 times your screen size--and still get an outstanding viewing experience, but the immersive feel will be less.
