The Truth About Windows Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| When I first saw XGL and AIGLX being demonstrated through YouTube videos,
| I was blown away. I assumed that it would take a monster video card,
| much like Vista does. However, I found that I could run a full 3D
| accelerated Linux desktop on Ponzi?s low powered laptop with an average
| Intel video chipset.

| Vista's user experience is just sloppy, folks - sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.
| I'm sure we're going to get excuse after excuse, apology after apology,
| reason after reason - but nothing is going to undo what?s already been
| done in Vista betas to this point. I'm told that little to nothing is
| going to change in the UI between RC1 and Gold. We?ll see what happens
| in a few weeks, won't we? I'm not holding my breath, but I remain
| hopeful that someone in the Quality Control department will wake up and
| smell the competition. Unless we see a radical system-wide improvement
| in the final (shipping) version of Windows Vista, my judgement on the OS
| will remain negative.
|
| Without veneer, underlying code will never have a chance to shine.
