Ok, so a little while ago I wrote a post about wanting compiz in windows.

No so much anymore. I wanted Compiz to be a part of windows because I thought it would be cool. Now that I’ve been messing with Vista abit more, I’ve realized that’s a horrible idea. Vista can barely handle its own graphics without choking up the system. A fact that I can’t really wrap my head around. It seems like having the gpu handle the windows and their themes and their animations should be multitudes faster (and it is, in linux), but it seems to slow things down. I don’t understand that at all.

So no, I don’t in retrospect think that Compiz/Beryl has any place in the windows world. It’s a nice dream, but MS has failed to provide an adequate base for it to work from…

Plus, I fall more and more into liking linux every day…Windows is pretty much for games at this point (at home at least).
