That is amazing. When in the world would you see window$ with that coolness. NEVER.

Makes me want to go and buy a HDD today for Ubuntu 6.10

PCLinuxOS has Beryl and Compiz built in. I've used it.

Hmm... Isn't it just eye candy like Aero?

but eye candy sells, or in this case, gets downloads. was that for real? there are several parts of that that are just like os x, and then they took it one step farther, but that is what the coolest gui is all about, taking the best, and making it even better. i did notice ms word in the dock, how was he running that in *nix? if this is really for real, my vista drive may be getting reformatted...

Also, id be out for a hard-drive quicker than expected. I hope its possible.

Now, just the wireless drivers.

Do you mean that blue W? That's OpenOffice Writer. But you can run MS Office using WINE emulator (free).

You should see XFCE

OO is much better though, and stuff in Wine is slower than outside of the emulator.
