XGL: Up And Beyond!
,----[ Quote ]
| There's Linux, there's OsX and there's Windows at the very bottom.
| On this site you'll be able to see each OS in action, showing some of
| their visual capabilities, and XGL pretty much kicks ass! It's just too
| laughable, Microsoft has been developing Vista since 2001, and this is
| what they got in the visual compartment, a 3D way of tabbing programs.
| Hurray! This is neat and all, but XGL is so much more, and the really
| funny thing is, that Vista requires "state of the art" hardware, at
| least fairly new hardware, for it to operate with its"?graphics". Whereas
| XGL can be run on low-end machines, pretty much not eating any resources,
| and yet its so much farther up and beyond anything in Vista's visual
| range it's almost not to believe.
|
| It's been a good run Microsoft, it really has, but I think it may be time
| to retire. Commercial/proprietary software has minimal or no place in the
| future of computing, deal with it.
