Yep, found that out by accident. I moved a window and laughed.
Cube looks nice too.
Also found several sites that talk about versions this that and the other for different OS'es, but I've just found a torrent client that also has versions for OS2/Warp...? WTF, I thought that died 10 years ago.

Yup,
Soo many things for linux half of what i use was dead 10 years ago.
If you come across something you want and its open source,
and you want to learn how to compile and install it give us a shout if you get stuck online.
Alot of things you find are not official but open source files for you to do as you please.

Cannot do what with Any version of windows??
If you talking about Compiz am well aware its not available on any version of windows.
Or to narrow it down, its on no other OS other than Linux,
And it will never be developed for any other OS,
It is possible on Mac. but the whole thing will need rewriting from start to end for that to be possible.
and i don't think the 3D Accelerator graphics are open source on Mac so that makes it a little harder too.
Windows dont use UNIX so its impossible

No what I mean is that I'm browsing the internet from within the linux installer.
Try web browsing while installing windows... it's impossible.
