Well if you guys have seen the post correctly then that's what I've written. "Aero HAS higher requirements than Compiz!"
But you can't expect Compiz to run on an old machine which runs 98

Why? Isn't linux following Windows & Mac in making it more user friendly in terms of GUI?

The news companies have mis-represented facts by combining 2 statements out of context, imo ! Windows 7 Release Date : All Smoke, No Fire !

[FilledVoid]

^That seems to be much better . They would be killing off Vista if they come out with a new product without having Vista run its life.

[Gigacore]

Vista is not flop. It is a HIT. It has earned milllions of dollars to billy's pocket. The secret for the hit is "Name" and "Fame". Microsoft has name and fame which made Vista a popular OS. People recognized vista is crap only after its release.

Remember, Vista is not flop, its a hit, but the OS is crap

will wait for win 7 . . currently on xp and dont want to go to vista until sp2 or 3 . . i have mint too

[techtronic]

I hope they don't release 5 editions of Windows 7 atleast and confuse the end users. I feel that this was one of the main reasons as to why Vista failed and also the Vista Capable and Vista Premium Ads

btw update: Windows 7 still slated for 2010 says Microsoft, Bill Gates just crazy-talking
