Xgl -- more eye candy than Apple?

[Alex Beamish]

Over on GrokLaw [1], PJ has posted notice of Novell's decision to re-brand
their Novell Desktop Linux back to SUSE. That's not very exciting, but the
inclusion of Xgl and "a real-time macro interpreter for OpenOffice.org which
can read the most common Microsoft Excel spreadsheet macros" is going to
remove barriers to the use of OOo, I presyume on either on Windows or Linux.

The GrokLaw article is here:

and the linked video is a very nice demo of what Xgl can do .. although who
would want a screen saver running as part of their normal desktop is beyond
me.
