Vista Aero vs. Ubuntu Beryl

Okay, you Linux resisters, today’s FamilyFirst pick is for YOU!
If you have state-of-the-art hardware, and I mean the hottest hardware out thgere, you can enjoy the effects of Vista’s highly touted Aero interface.
This is the big enchilada, Microsoft’s ultimate desktop. It features things like 3-dimensional stacking windows, translucent windows, and some other niceties you’ll see in the YouTube video.
Next, you’ll see Ubuntu’s Beryl desktop.
In the words of Samuel L. Jackson in Jurassic Park, “Hold on to your butts!”


Let me put a disclaimer in at this point. I have a nearly-two-year-old computer running an NVIDIA integrated graphics card. It has 256 MB of RAM, but it’s “borrowed” from system RAM.
In other words, it’s low-end stuff. That means I can’t run Beryl. However, a modest upgrade to a hotter video card would allow me to do so, yet still come up short of running Microsoft’s fanciest.
That being said, check out the difference between Aero and Beryl, which (I know, I repeat) requires LESS horsepower than Window’s ultimate desktop.
