how would that take up more memory? i would think that it would just upload all the graphics to the gpu memory and let the gpu take care of all the graphic stuff. i would think that would save on systm memory and system proccesses.
of course i dont know that much about it.nVidia G-Force 6600GT (bfg) pci-e: amd 64 2000+ (939): 1024 corsair ram: 2X 80gb seagate harddisk SATA: plextor cd/dvd-read/write cdrom SATA

I am not that impressed. It doesn't seem like anything that would be useful. Perhaps in the future, not now.
For example, the thing they called "Desktop Organization" (from the movie). Why would I need my windows to zoom out like that, so I can see them all at one time? Isn't the point of the taskbar to have a places where all programs are visible at one time?Brilliant Mediocrity - Making Failure Look Good

this definitely looks like a response to aero, except much much cooler. wobbly transparent windows!
Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

Maybe not it exectly, but it *could* lead to something. I just point it in there so I couldn't be proven wrong in the future. Originally Posted by bryansmith

I would need extra brains to cope with everything that the screens were doing but the concept is nice.
p.s. Thanks for posting this thread and forcing me to install MPlayer to view it.
