It looks good, but i just dont think its user friendly enough for every day use yet....

i'm not sure abt that but here's wad i find...

QUOTE

To run a graphically-intensive program such as Project Looking Glass, Domingo says users would need a 3D graphics accelerator, a 850-MHz Pentium 3 processor or better, and a minimum of 256MB of memory, plus an approved graphics card.

its from http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0%2Cai...114615%2C00.asp well, i guess by this requirement to me is considering middle or low... i heard microsoft wanted to do that to longhorn... well, i'm not surprise... and the requirement for longhorn is said to be much higher den this... i wonder would i get longhorn when it come out... hm...

Yeah well, that's a lot of memory to be using just for the OS

I use Windows anyways.
