About the same time it takes to install Ubuntu, end to end, isn't it?
Although with Ubuntu (read: Linux) you generally get a load more
applications than you do with a base windows install.

I have XGL on Ubuntu Dapper here. Looks like Edgy will have AIGLX.

"So dream a little about Xen for virtualisation, Xgl/AIGLX and other 
wonderful wobbly window bits, the goodness of Network Manager, a first 
flirt with multiarch support for true mixed 32-bit and 64-bit computing 
on AMD64, the interesting possibilities of the SMART package manager... 
and other  pieces of infrastructure which have appeared tantalisingly 
on the horizon."
