XGL - Future of Linux desktop

First of all see this video: xgl-demo1.xvid.avi, it comes with 60mb of XGL demo video.
Put the file to download and read along.

When Linux will work like this i will go 100% on that open source system, for sure ! Don’t be too excited, this is alpha stage for now. But Novell, company that support Linux works on this project so i think we will see XGL in future working good. Linux GUI is backward compare to new Vista and Mac OSX. But when XGL will start working with open source distribution the Linux system may win many potential users.
