Comment 52 for bug 1

A postitive progress on the bug!

I was in class the other day and my professor recommended Ubuntu to the class!! it might not mean much now but the word is getting out. People are starting to get interested in lunux and the massive hardware requirements of Vista might be the perfect oppertunity for linux to rise through the ranks.

The big caller of vista is the 3d effects in the windows. Such effects in windows require a very powerful 3d accelerator (Radeon 9800 Pro +/ Geforce 5900 +). Linux with XGL on the horrizon doesn't require that powerful of an accelerator (I've gotten XGL running flawlessly on my Geforce 4 GO 4400 64MB). So for the eye candy lover that doesn't want to by a new comp to run Vista, linux might be the answer!
