OMG!

I thought this was a rendered advert, but its an actual realtime 3d desktop! Fading to crisper 2d when on a workspace.

This is Xgl/Compiz(now known as Beryl Project) running on a secondary comp which is a 4 year old dell with 2.4 ghz P4 proc, Nvidia 6600 GT gfx card, and only 512 megs of RAM.

Check this out, this looks awesome! :O

I fear it will all be too much for my NvGFfx though :( time to upgrade i guess.

EDIT: !THIS IS NOT WINDOWS VISTA! - as there seems to be some confusion.
