OH thats 3D?
That I know, I saw a 3D cube rotatable on a desktop which shows your multi desktop I guess.
Here is the video link
*www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPlertKj2i8

what is that?
I also see that the top has some tool bar is it part of vista or 3rd party?
I also notice my windows don't minimize the way it shows in that video.
I am using Ultimate edition.

Beryl(compiz-fusion) is for Linux and UNIX like Operating Systems.It will not work with Vista as it is totally a different OS.if u wanna try get urself Ubuntu.
*ubuntu.com
^Also Linux needs much less resource than for Vista for those 3D effects

IN this video it starts with vista may be in between the view switches to ubuntu & the viewer cant see that.
I read the title of the video again its Aero vs Beryl so I guess its only showing the comparison.
Thanks guys.........................but that a cool thing
