Linux desktop regardless of distro are getting more "cool" compared to windows and mac.The only thing that hampers Linux in desktop, not so much in server area, are the proprietary device drivers which distros even Suse will not provide support because of license issues. This understandable to our p.o.v. but for the most users who will argue "this device works with windows and mac" this is an issue.
Yes there are work around but does every regular users has to deal with this challenges?

Hi
Have you ever tried the new version of Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop Edition (10.1 Final) I have read amazing online review about. Manufacturer like Lenovo are going to release a highend laptop which is preinstalled with this new Linux. Have anyone in this forum ever tried the XGL which enhances the user interface ala Mac OS X.
