Heh, no need for the Beryl over-kill, I'd go for just having 4 virtual desktops! C'mon everyone knows Expose was like the US space program investing the space pen instead of just using the pencil ( i.e. virtual desktops ).

"but then again one or two of the features of beryl have already been implemented in OS X."
OSX can already do anything in Beryl, they just don't because they have better taste.
We've had a GPU accelerated desktop since 10.2 and 10.4 brought Core Image which means Shaders on the desktop (see dashboard real time ripple effect)

Kicks the shit out of hacky Beryl basically.

I think if apple integrated Beryl eyecandy into their UI they'd have Vista beat... but then again one or two of the features of beryl have already been implemented in OS X.
