Open source vs. monolith

Watch this mind-boggling video to see what a genuinely innovative and powerful user interface, XGL under Linux, can do. Plus, it runs just fine on a regular video card with no high-powerful computer needed.
XGL was created in the open source world, Vista by a monolith. It’s no contest, XGL blows Vista away, which should be a cautionary tale for monoliths.
A recent Observer article, Why Vista will mean the end of the Microsoft monolith, is getting lots of attention in the tech blogosphere. Check my comments, and Chris Pirillo’s too.

Actually it’s awfully similar to OS X, which was created by…a monolith.
