I scrapped KDE and GNOME to get the extra graphics
performance.  I was already getting decent performance
from the beta version with the graphics tools.

I upgraded to 1.1 and have FVWM as my X mgr.  Life is
great.  I have NT 4 svr running in a window doing
notes and various office apps.  I have a 770x with
128meg and 64 allocated to vmware.

Still looking for the sound support.  Likely to buy at
the end of my trial period.
