1. That's gonna run like a bag of crap on any computer without a kick-ass
graphics card and beefy processor!

Isn't Microsoft doing something similar in Longhorn? "Avalon," I think they call it, whereby they use the GPU in the graphics card to power elements of the desktop. What some poor sap is supposed to do who doesn't have a brand new computer is anybody's guess.

3. To be fair
Apple already does this with OS X. It makes sense and you don't need a terribly powerful video card to pull it off.

2. Where are the chimps on unicycles spinning plates on poles?
Good Gawd, is this just a LITTLE bit busy? Could anyone actually get any work done on this machine?
