Today we feature a very interesting interview with Havoc Pennington. Havoc works for Red Hat, he is heading the desktop team, while he is well known also for his major contributions to GNOME, his GTK+ programming book, plus the freedesktop.org initiative which aims to standardize the X11 desktop environments. In the following interview we discuss about the changes inside Red Hat, Xouvert, freedesktop.org and Gnome's future, and how Linux, in general, is doing in the desktop market.

are you daft? you do not understand what this tech is doing.
it utilizes the 95% of the GFX card that is not used during normal computing.
so by using the GPU for drawing the desktop, you are offloading a ton of crap from the CPU. and the power of GFX cards now adays, with their memories (128 MB!) makes them perfect for this job.
