    That's a modification for linux, uses X. I have it installed with Ubuntu and it works great, very cool looking. I understand that they may have a windows version in the works, but it's not out currently. Consider playing with linux and see how you like it!

    Yep Beryl is for Linux. It is similar to Compiz and XGL. To install it just click Wiki on the site and click the Linux release you have.

    Check out the sticky at the top of the software page. That should have everything you need to know.
