Windows Vista Aero vs Linux Ubuntu Beryl
Came across this video to check out how Beryl is, and it's just amazing! Blew me away. I am so gonna install Beryl when i'm done building my computer! And to think, Beryl came out first before Vista. You might notice a similarity with Macs in Beryl, but it's basically only in the QuickLaunch bar. Anywho, for those who are new to Linux or haven't seen Beryl in action, prepare to be blown away!

Seen a similar clip sometime back, some XGL or something and at that time I knew I am so not going to try Vista.
You guys just keep on motivating me to clean up my PC, back-up stuff, upgrade a bit and install Linux. XD I have the DVD with me.
Just am too lazy.
Btw, this is really amazing, and this clip makes more sense and it's comparing and not just showcasing Beryl and the end was just awesome for an even more awesome comparision.

The only slight problem with Beryl is that it is still quite unstable and can occasionally cause freezes and crashes - about the only software on Linux I have seen do that on a regular basis Compiz is a more stable bet, and was the software Beryl originally forked off from. Both have very similar effects, Beryl just goes a little more over-the-top with them.

But I like windows Vista, its cool. Linux has to improve a lot to qualify as a desktop operating system

If you don't believe me or that video 
, you may install it yourself. In fact, more people are starting to switch over to Linux because it is becoming more and more user-friendly. Truth is, my Linux OS is more customizable than Windows, especially since almost everything in it is open-source, so i can edit the code and make programs more to my liking.

And I prefer Linux even over Macs!

I live in Bangladesh. And I am using Windows XP. Because as I am a poor man so I do not have enough money to buy a Vista CD. Last couple of Days ago I went one of my friends house and found out he is using a nice Operating System and thins is nothing but Linux[ubuntu]. And the OS is not that tough enough. In fact this particular OS is maid for Desktop, Laptop Computer. One special thing about "ubuntu" is it has dozens of different language and many languages are available via download. And the most beautiful thing is it is full free 
. Is it not grate?. Any one can get this CD by requesting the "ubuntu" team that I need the CD over Internet. The link is www.ubuntu.com or shipit.ubuntu.com.
UBUNTU is an ancient African word which means "humanity to other"
/Have a nice day
