No. Let XFCE and Open/Flux/Blackbox worry about these people.
This mentality of constantly catering to the lowest common denominator
has to stop. _Nothing_ like we can do currently requires anything like
Vista HW but I can run Compiz just fine on a EEEPC for instance. Which
is in no way a beast but works great.
If we keep targeting computers from 10 years ago we'll constantly be behind.

than threads about actual work. Prove me wrong. Let it go a couple of
posts then let it die.
