It's been nearly 18 months since the last major Xfce release - Xfce 4.4, to be exact. Xfce 4.6 was supposed to go final this month, but the Xfce team didn't meet the deadline. Instead, they released the first alpha release of Xfce 4.6, and Phoronix summarises the most important changes, including a number of screenshots.

Actually, IMHO resource hog != bloated.
Resource hog is a general statement. E.g. VMWare will hog all your machine's resources if you run a number of heavy VMs. But the mere fact that it's hogging all the resources doesn't make it a bad product by itself.
[Beware: Even if you don't agree, PLEASE don't turn this into an pro/anti Vista thread. Thank you.]
On the other hand (in my experience) Vista is bloated.
As in, it was relatively slow on the dual dual Opteron machine that I tested it on (compared to 2K3 and Linux), without offering something in return.
