XGL, Compiz, AIXGL (sp?).

Hardware-rendered desktops popping up all over the place in the Linux
world (they use OpenGL).

Machines running the Window Managers smoothly have been boasting
excellent hardware capabilities including sub 1GHz processors and
onboard Video cards with 32MB RAM, many of them using Shared
Video memory.  One has to wonder what Microsoft has done to
increase the Windows system requirements exponentially in comparison
to these efforts.

Thoughts?  Yes, I know it cannot run Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop,
Dreamweaver, Visual Studio, or Borland Developer Studio 2006.  Just
talking about the desktop environment in general  :)
