Ping [livejournal.com profile] makovette: The Beauty of Linux

By the dessicated skull of Mogg's grandfather...

He did it with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz_Fusion + Windows XP running in a VM on one of the virtual deskstops.

The cube analogy is also used in Mac OS to manage 4 desktops at one.

Reproducing that demo is entirely doable by someone with the time to install and config all the goodies.

It DOES take some CPU crunch (a good dual core and at least 2GB (I recommend at least 3) of memory depending on how much you give the XP VM) and an nVidia graphics card is mandatory as well.

CYa!
