This is pretty amazing as all graphics might one day be floating around in hardware accellerated heaven on your 3D card. In Vista its only the windows that are mapped to a texture, the rest is old slow GDI+ that has to be updated and rendered manually by the CPU. This is why Vista uses so much CPU when you resize the windows or thumbnails. Also Vista also requires a D3D 9.0 card with Pixels Shader 2.0 just for the Blur effect - this is totally unessesary and could make Vista run fast on much slower PC's. But you know Microsoft, bloat up and sell more because customers are forced to upgrade. Go here for higher quality 640x480 http://jooh.no/root/clips/Kororaa_Linux_XGL_demo.avi
