Hey Vista, Eat This!

Okay, I posted before a technical session about Vista last March. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of users who are after fancy graphics and cute eye candy because in DevDays, many people's reactions were, "Ooohh... Aaaah... Wow! [applause]". Also considering that most of these people were [MS] developers. Well, if you're so hyped about Vista coming out next year or mid-next year if they postpone it again, you might want to check out Project Looking Glass and XGL. XGL Demo Project Looking Glass Notice the cool animated backgrounds both on XGL and LG3D? That idea was scrapped on Vista (the moving grass background). By the way, Project Looking Glass was started before Vista did so you can't claim that these are Vista clones. Old news but it was only last night when I saw the XGL demo clips. Personally, I like XGL better but it wouldn't hurt if both (Novell and Sun) worked together to combine their work.
