Windows 7 gamut

So, my issue is with color managed vs unmanaged applications. I have no idea which output will be seen, because it depends on the application and application settings. I just want the colors to be consistent, at least for me, so I'm wondering how should I set up my workflow given that I mostly edit raw files which will be exported to sRGB and displayed on the web?

Mind you, I had a color-managed sRGB monitor before this one Dell UH and the unsaturated colors in chrome to me seem even less saturated as compared to that monitor. But I feel like I don't. Does windows 7 force color management of un-colormanaged applications games, browsers Is the desktop now color managed? Is there anyone here who is knowledgeable about color management and has a wide gamut panel running with windows 7 that can definitively outline what does and doesn't work in win 7?

In High Color, color data is all first converted into an extended range color space that uses the sRGB primaries, but which allows values less than 0. Wide gamut color data can be converted into this space without any loss.

A lot of articles I have read give the impression that calibrating a monitor means that a color ICC profile is generated and once it is set in the OS, everything becomes right.

I just received a new Dell U I have set it to sRGB. However, it is clear to me now that only color managed applications will benefit from the color profile of the monitor that is generated.
