X rant
Every OS, including Windows can access remote desktops and I think users are quite happy with how it works (at least from what I heard so far). On desktop, it is *very* rarely used feature so Apple and MS created architecture that doesn't really care about forwarding graphics over TCP/IP and god, that was really good idea. They desinged it with Joe Sixpack in mind: tearing-free video, overall experience (resizing window instant and nice, without gray artifacts). Also, codesize and memory usage is always issue. If Wayland can run my Gnome desktop with much smaller memory footprint, codesize and startup time ... I will use VNC for remote accessing other computers, good bye X!
I am using Ubuntu right now, another user also logged in different session but overall only one application is currently running (Chrome web browser). Xorg is running 2 processes "Xorg" 82+61 MB of virtual memory, plus x-session-manager process (2x25Mb). Total = 200MB for X, give or take, and I am NOT even running Compiz (guess why?). Thats Insane. Let's continue, Alt-Tab, switch between 2 windows repeatedly... LOTS of gray artifacts. No, this CAN'T be ment seriously for desktop usage, let alone embedded. I am all for Wayland and I never saw it running. Hows that possible? Because I am running X every day and know all about that.
