Quote: besides, what's XGL? Long story short: one of the big selling points of Windows Vista is that the entire desktop is drawn by Direct3D, allowing for realtime rotation, movement, and transparency. XGL does the same thing for Unix desktops with OpenGL... except that it's already publicly available. If you want to see what I'm talking about, a bootable demonstration CD is available through Bittorrent at http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=1604. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

Microsoft would better risk losing customers, than release another crappy Operating System in my opinion ... besides, what's XGL? I googled for a short while, and it was something to do with graphics? (I understood nearly nothing of all that was said on that site  ) _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Quote: Not that bothered about it myself. What does interest me is that Microsoft will be releasing some of their new games starting with the PC version of Halo 2, exclusivly for Vista, this means if you don't want to buy it but want the game, you might be forced to get the new operating system. Which is just plain cheeky. They are also rumoured to be trying to get other games companies to do this as well. gah! that sounds really unfair and stupid  doesnt microsoft have enough money yet >_>? _______________ [proud owner of talions 200th, 700th,1111th coment AND 1400th , DJK's 3001th coment! , saz's 400th coment! liso's 800th coment!
