What a pity it did such a horrible job of actually implementing the concept. Those fancy “Aero Glass” effects could only work on higher-end hardware. This led to the confusion over “Vista-capable” versus “Vista- ready”, and there were even lawsuits by customers who felt they had been had by Microsoft. Meanwhile, my modest little Asus Eee 701, with the single-core 900MHz Celeron, could run Kubuntu and KDE Plasma 4 with all those effects and more, without missing a beat. > I'm not sure why they retired both. Because Windows still cannot handle such advanced GUI features efficiently.
