cool demonstration, I've been thinking about trying out Ubuntu(sp?) but have been discouraged in the past when trying to use some other unix based OS's

Now I'm impressed with the graphic abilities that were used in this clip, specially when compared directly with Vista. now my question is this : Vista does all that fancy smanshy stuff out of the box... how many hours upon hours would I have to work to get Ubuntu to do the same? most likely quite a bit of time I'm guessing.

I don't want to come off as a ubuntu hater or a microsoft lover or anything, I simply want to use a (relatively) trouble free OS. Which is why I stuck with W2000 for so long, and now use a stripped down XP with alot of personal modifications. If you could point me to a build of Ubuntu that doesn't look like crap out of the box, has some of these cool visual effects, and can play games in a proper manner please do! I am very interested.

Fantastic demo. The only weigh down is that not everyone can install Linux like Windows. When this happens, we can all rejoice and Microsoft will be shakin' in their boots.

DX10 on UBUNTU == real M$ challenger

Vista == only for DX10 games, only if cracked (free)

I have been an M$ hater for years, and live in Win2k because I have to. WinXP (stripped & augmented) is my next near term target. I will NEVER buy an OS from them, and the thought of paying for something even more bloated and convoluted than XP makes me want to PUKE. But those 8800's are gonna need new DX, and we need a real alternative OS.

All the blingbling in this Ubuntu demo certainly puts Vista in its place, but more importantly, it shows a fundamentally more capable platform. I could do without the 3D fancies, but an OS that works that well is a worthy future platform for REAL next gen GUI developments.

5/5 for the very informative demo.

I really don't care about fancy effects. I have XP, and I've used OSX some, and these have more than enough eye candy. I care more for what an OS can actually DO. Linux is great, really, and I would get it over Vista (when I upgrade my comp) any day, but can it run SupCom? Will it run Red Orchestra? Half Life? Photoshop? Rhinoceros?

Seriously, you can go on about how your OS is the greatest thing in the world, but the sad reality is that your OS does not fit the needs of most people. Most people either want their OS to be simple to set up, or they want it to run all their applications without hassle (or in my case, games). With a list of compatible games that looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professionally-developed_Linux_games, you're really not showing me a useful product.

I cannot understand how you argue the superiority of an OS, when it is so limited compared to the competition.

Oh, and could you have picked worse music? Seriously, my ears were bleeding there.

It took me 15 minutes to get beryl(ubuntu doesnt do that out of the box) working but the reason why this really the beryl-ubuntu owns aero-vista is that you dont need morethat 512 of ram and even a geforce 2 can run it without problem and its far more customisable that aero.... Go Linux!

Yeah what was the song? Also how compatible is Linux with games, I would definitely like to switch because this is free as well right? Any websites to recommend?

I ain't watched the vid yet, but so you all know, its the beryl binaries that make it look soooo damn good.. Its also at a very interesting point in time as vista is probably as incompatible as linux with a lot of hardware\software\games\api's lol. might just give linux a bit more publicity.

Well for people who really want to play windows games they cant use WINE(free) or CEDEGA( you have to pay but it works for most of the new games www.cedega.com ) CEDEGA also works under MacOS X....
