For those who love eye candy, Dapper features an easily-installable XGL
package. Why bother mentioning this? Everyone knows that UNIX variants are
powerful working tools, but 'wrapping' has probably been a drawback to
many (marketing aside). XGL beats the hell out of Tiger and Vista, which
let us face it, have got some catching up to do. It is ironic that visuals
make the most conspicuous selling point whilst popular applications like
Firefox are known to have Open Source roots.
Ubuntu was noted best distribution of the year. I see many who migrate to
the Ubuntu 'family' of distribution, so this release is a major milestone
that will have great impact. Version 7 of Ubuntu is due around September,
which still predates the release of Windows Vista. OSX is fairly idle, as
it has been for several years.
My two cents
