"There's a lot of confusion about Windows Vista these days. Many online discussion forums have a great number of users who express no desire to upgrade to Vista. Sure, we've all seen the screenshots and maybe a video or two of Vista in action, but for many it only seems like new tricks for an old dog. Yeah, it's got some fancy 3D effects in the interface, but OS X has been doing that for years now, and it's still Windows underneath, right? The sentiment seems to be that Vista is another Windows ME. Perhaps part of the problem is that people just don't know what Vista has in store for them."

what is more a hack? XWindows with server side hacked acceleration, or an approach that enables a full use of gpu carachteristics from drivers up, in the context of a stable api gearing more and more towards scene/effects description and which development is directly supported by hardware makers?
the article point was "you know, there's more than wishtles and bells". if you didn't read/got it, please resist the temptation of commenting just because you're allowed to.

You mean they still haven't just dumped Direct X? Geez-- I will be shocked if Vista doesn't suck. Sounds like it is still a melange of 3rd rate MSFT hacks.
