@ChristopherACarr if you think that then you haven't used linux properly. There's openoffice, gimp, audacity, and loads more

I like your wallpaper, where did you get it?

[ChristopherACarr]

95 percent of those Compiz effects are completely useless. Why would you want them in Windows? Windows is for doing work. Linux is for working on your computer. :P

That said, how do I get the 3D windows on my cube in Compiz-Fusion? Haven't had that since Berly. ;)

[drakasx]

cause windows is made by incompetent fools.

[lobelito]

You can always when a poster has a fast computer, the recording frame rate is FAST.

nice rig - would run OSX rather nicely too - the MB, CPU, GPU are all supported. Ever tried a tripple boot?
