I have a Dell D620 (Not even Vista basic recommended but possible, this via Dell's site) running PCLinuxOS, it flies, including with Beryl turned on.

There is no reason why I, and others with even more modest video capabilities can run Beryl smoothly, with 100x for Wow than Aero when MS has that many developers.

Even just playing in stores, desktops with Vista are just not that "snappy". (1-2 second right click delays, the start menu deciding to come up after a second). Things I am just not used to. After 1 second delay in any app on my computer, I am already thinking "what's wrong", what should I kill?

P.S. The emails are an incredible read, it boggles the mind.
