But you will need the fastest and best graphics hardware to run the Aero aspect of Vista. Not many PCs can do that. This really doesn't bother M$ or the PC vendors. All they see is bigger profits.


Just like OS X needs the fastest and best graphics hardware to run Quartz Extreme/2D/3D/whatever. Not many Macs can do that. This really doesn't bother Apple. All they see is bigger profits.

Are you nym-shifting?
Anyway, all I have is a 128Mg ATI in my Mac running OS X.
The other mac has a 64mg ATI running OS X. Not exactly high end graphics engines. Now can you run Aero on similarly equipped graphics cards for Vista?

    ... What you have said about Vista providing its own graphics acceleration is just nonsense! ... The whole idea of hardware graphics acceleration is that the routines are executed by specialised functions that are built into a specially produced graphics chip on your video card whose sole purpose is to provide fast graphics routines, and also that the graphics functions themselves are executed in the graphics cards own memory by the graphics card's own processors while the computer's main processor is allowed to get on with other work using its own main RAM memory AT THE SAME TIME. ... So, you get faster graphics because the graphics card processor is purpose built to provide them, and you also get faster graphics because the routines get executed without taking any processing time from the computer's main processor. ...
