Title: Amiga Screen and Vista
Post by: gdridi on August 26, 2006, 07:46:58 PM: Hello,

Have you seen the latest innovation from Vista ?

It has screen navigation (3D iso) like the Amiga.

There also vectorial graphics from Silicon ...

The only thing they done themself is folder view documents.

Back to the future ...

Windows Vista has screens?

My understanding is that it displays the open windows.

Well, it's just a bit of an enhancement compared to the multipe desktop system wich exists on Linux already for a while.

Well kind of but Amiga screens can have different palette and screen mode ;-)
