Microsoft has finally decided to take the GUI out of kernel space for Vista.

I’ve got nothing to add to what penguin-collective @ slashdot said:

X11 was conceived 20 years ago and was an incredibly forward looking design; both Macintosh and Windows have now moved to an architecture very similar to it.

Unfortunately, technical and historical facts won’t stop people from making bogus claims about their pet architecture. There are still lots of Mac zealots going around complaining about X11′s supposedly inefficient “network transparent architecture” even though the Mac has pretty much the same architecture and is, if anything, less efficient. I imagine it will be the same with Microsoft zealots, although many of them will, in addition, claim that this architecture was invented by Microsoft.
