The fact that the new Windows Vista actually has no features or functionality over Windows XP the main selling point is the improved graphical interface and eye candy... which is now at a standard surpassed by Linux..

Have a look and see what impresses you the most graphically

just interested to know what one you believe has the best desktop graphics and eye candy

The video with the browser on these forums is from my system and shows the flaming windows when closing, the desktop weather such as snow and rain... the desktop zoom, bendy windows and the multiple cubed desktop

is that what you get with the Beryl package? Looks good. But eye candy often causes my graphics card grief.

Liking Linux so far. Still can't get back to bloody windows yet.
