Users are treated to a Vista-esque KDE theme, with transparent windows The greatest feature of the distro is the hardware and software support. DVD movies work from the start in addition to audio, bluetooth, WiFi and even XGL."

  1. What's Vapor^H^H^H^H^HVista got to do with it? by toby · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    First we had the absurd suggestion posted here that Apple is somehow playing "catch-up" to the as yet unreleased, reheated clunker -- when in fact, Vista if released won't sport more than a fraction of the capabilities of very-much-released OS X circa 2002.

    Does every article now have to refer to Vista as if it is somehow visionary? Let us compare OS X 10.5 to Windows XP, more reasonably, since that is the slum in which somehow most computer users have allowed themselves to be incarcerated. Will Vista, if released, even manage to measure up to Xgl? Certainly not on comparable hardware.

    As usual, far too little, far too late. On second thoughts, compare away!
