Yes, it's quite cool. If you want to try XGL easily yourself, download Kororaa Linux live-cd (~450 MB):

http://kororaa.org/static.php?page=static060318-181203

Definitely easier to use than installing the unstable custom X server.

I'll do that for sure when I get home!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!   8-(

Just what I needed to really BOOST my productivity!

Fading menus: in the eighties, folks had green monitors with long afterglow. We got fade-in fade-out menus and stuff for free. Everybody hated it, and you had to pay double for a white-phosphor monitor that didn't do it. Now you have to pay extra to get a graphics card that can handle it.

Overlapping, transparent movies: Yippeeee, now I can watch 24 episodes and Shaft, all at the same time and in the same position. Schizophrenia,  embrace me, take me away, hahaaa hehee. (But I bet you can't have THREE movies on top of each other, buahahhahhaha. I'll wait till you get 5.)

Rubber windows: OMG, how have we ever managed with sheets of paper on the desk???? Of course they should be made of condom latex. And they could have post-it glue round the edges, so that whenever I grab a sheet it goes wawawawa-spaff on me.

Transparency: nice fake, but I still bet you can see only one level deep. And so what if you really could see several levels deep? Oh yes, the I could edit two different programs at the same time. Too bad they don't give away 3d glasses so I could see what lines of text belong to which program. (Without coloring them differently, of course.) So if we really needed that, then the Letter Size (or A4 for Europe) in my office would be *translucent* condom latex. Ever since 50 years back!

Cube thing: gee, it sure is "faster or otherwise more productive" to play dice with the screens, than just switching between screens, right?

Movie over cube edge: Now this is an essential! I always wanted to fold my LCD screen round the corner. That way I can see half the movie wherever I am.

==================

What is it with people??? Everyone just has to have something the others don't. Who cares if it's useful or downright a burden! Kings used to walk around with 10 pounds of gold on their head. Gee. Half the people in my country just have to have cars with 200hp engines, although the speed limit is 75mph (120km/h) on freeways and 50 (80) elsewhere.

(And I'm not going to quote what feminists say the reason is, this is a family site, after all.)

It used to be a standing joke that M$ is in cohoots with hardware manufacturers. Every time they double the computer speed M$ wastes it with the next Windows. Well, now even Linux distros are getting there.

==================

I've got 2 800MHz laptops as my main portables, with 250MB 20GB, and they sure are ample for all job related stuff that I ever need.

But trying to run that kind of "improved" UI on them, forget about it. And to buy a Game Grade tabletop just so one can run the GUI -- a total waste of money. Besides, what's the point of having a server-capable OS in it if you waste all power to the eye-candy stuff?

Sorry man, but read first explanation on the right side of above mentioned page...

I am affraid that your notebook will not be sufficient to run next Windows Vista :-)

Ok, so I got enough ram. I wonder about the cpu, though. And the graphics card, on W2k or FC4 it barely shows one DVD at a time smoothly.

But, it's cool, sure. Still, I wonder if anybody over 30 finds it useful at work.

Then again, to show off faster development and unbelievably better results than M$, this works well! Heh, this is not a kick in their knee, it's a kick 18" higher! :-)

PS, W2000 will stay the last one from M$ in my office, with any help from Bob!

You missed the point. All about opengl desktop is to have fully accelerated, flicker free drawing system
(which allow you to do better, more advanced gui apps).
All that effect are only the side effect. They were implemented to show the power of opengl desktop, not to
make your work more efficient.

Woah man, don't cry so loud about this. It's a curiosity, if you don't like it or whatever just don't quote against it. No one says it was gonna enhance your productivity. Be cool :)

You mean: "Estoy tranquilo. Escribí antes de leer las explicaciones a la derecha de la página." :) Hey, I like your spanish intention, you've just enhanced my mood for the rest of the night (really)!

I know that you had rush your answer, it's just you always write with such an anger against what you don't like, let it go man... You make me remember myself ;) (at least I'm not alone in my intolerant world :P).

Kind regards,
