Of course Linux sucks; it doesn't implement Windows Vista
Aero. ;-) Clearly, that Beryl stuff is overrated, as it:
(a) is far prettier than Aero,
(b) is less resource-intensive,
(c) allows for more flexibility, and
(d) is easier to demo.
Or perhaps you can clarify as to why Linux, quote,
"sucks", end quote. Just want to be sure I've got my
Microsoft cue cards straight...
I do have a quibble or two about microphone audio, but
am not sure if it's hardware related, Linux related,
or ALSA related.
