OT: xargs & vi



can anyone please explain this to me?

seamus:/usr/local/share/phpgw# find . -name Root | xargs vi
221 files to edit
Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal

seamus:/usr/local/share/phpgw# vi `find . -name Root`
221 files to edit


how the heck does vi get the difference between the two methods of
calling it...
