There has been some major comparisons of SuSE Linux 10.1 and its full
compiz-based Xgl (OpenGL) environment to the Windows Vista builds with
WGF 1.1 (DX9).

In a nutshell, Vista _tanks_ on old (3-4 year-old) hardware.
SuSE Linux 10.1 runs very nicely on old (3-4 year-old) hardware.

Vista will _suck_ unless you have a serious CPU to match the _limited_
GPU acceleration in WGF 1.1.  Wait for WGF 2.0 (DX10).
