This is truly evident by what off-work programmers are able to do with “legacy” hardware. While Microsoft’s tagline is “Wow” for Windows Vista; in all honesty - anyone that has been around a computer at all know that Vista’s graphics are far from revolutionary.

 

Mac has had Expose for quite a while now and works much better than Flip 3D used in Vista.

 

Beryl/Compiz is head and shoulders above any of the graphics possibilities of the “major” Operating Systems. Not only is Linux is free of charge, including all it’s programs that come with it and are downloadable — it’s extremely efficient and truly works on a vast array of computers configurations and architectures.

Most of the new Linux distro’s now come with Beryl/Compiz built in today, and the good thing is you can try it out without installing Linux, just get LiveCD/DVD of any popular Linux distribution.
