Being a BeOS user (a purely desktop system) and because I code under Linux, I see XFree86 (v4.1 on my machine) as a user and as a developper. And this is where the problem lies. My Gnome or KDE desktops are slow in comparison with other operating systems, but XFree86, the 'engine' behind these desktops, proves me that it's not. Let's look at what I have in front of me: a dual Pentium III at 933Mhz with 512MB of memory, a Radeon 32 AIW, a modified Mandrake 8.0 powered by kernel 2.4.18.

> However, I attribute these problems to fundamental flaws in Windows itself.
Bascule, you link these screenshots over and over. I told you in the past and I will tell it again: I am here with a much more slower PC than yours (dual Celeron 533, Voodoo5) and I don't see any of your problems with XP. I think your problem is buggy drivers, or drivers not interacting well with your PC. I would try a different gfx card before I attribute these specific problems to WinXP rather than the person who wrote the drivers.
