I'm not sure if I understand the poll question. What's the difference between hardware mining via GPU and software mining via GPU? Isn't all GPU mining done using a combination of both (i.e. the hardware performs the actual hashing operations and the mining program is the software that controls the hardware)?

Even Dedicated graphic cards is not worth anymore for mining BTC. You just wasting your electric power. if you want to mine, try another coin with another algo. But i think intel HD graphics is not powerful enough for mining, even for gaming.

You'd be surprised at how much better the newer Intel integrated graphics are nowadays. It used to be that all integrated graphics were terrible but recent chipsets are competitive with low range dedicated ones which wasn't the case just a few years ago. The HD series was a huge improvement over the earlier GMA series and the difference between earlier and later HD chipsets can be quite significant too. The 4400 happens to be one of the more recent and better ones but most of the new integrated graphics from Intel can play on decent fps on even some newer games.

Don't mine bitcoin with CPU/GPU, if you want to you better mine altcoin
Maybe this site can help you : http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

And i'm sure your CPU will explode soon if you keep mining with it
Even for scrypt altcoin, mining with GPU is not profitable anymore. Too many asic scrypt kill gpu mining recently

Not all of the coins on Coinwarz are scrypt coins. The ones with ASICs built for them are SHA-256 and Scrypt. There are about ten other algos there that don't have ASICs (yet).

I wouldn't advise CPU mining on a laptop as some others have suggested here but if you do decide to take this route, then the following link might be helpful:

Some CPU-mineable coins aren't featured though - e.g. XMG's M7M algo.
Even though they have improved the graphics, the opencl calculation rates still suck. AMD and nvidia are much better as they are focused on performance. Integrated graphics isn't for gamers or developers. CPU mining on laptop is indeed hazardous. My GPU went up all the way to 95degrees Celsius last time i tried on my laptop.
