Waste of time.. all it is is a set of visual effects with nothing new
AFAICS.
Most of them are just fancy window dressing just what the Linux advocates
accuse vista of.
Some of the effects look just like the window tearing you used to get on
really low end graphics cards when you could first drag windows with content
rather than just the frame.. I wonder how much time was spent getting that
problem back?
Yet again developers waste their time on fancy trimmings rather than making
it easier for the user or adding some useful functionality!

you do not understand.. these are only plugins that display the
capabilities of the underlying structure.
You can do anything with the structure and build other things that boost
productivity.
The fact is without a doubt that this 3d envoirnment can do what vista can,
its free, and it uses older less powerfull cards too.
Now only if they would port it to XP, so we could get a 3d enviornment
without needing to install the worse OS of all time> veeshtaaa

You do not understand.. its nothing new and its mainly useless.
Its another case of "I'm bored lets design *another* windows manager", like
the world is short of them.

Well duh! EXACTLY what the boys of Redmond did. Windows Explorer still
sucks as a shell, (even a lot of MVPs say they don't use it) but oh
look, we gave you Aero, ain't it pretty?
The thing I find the most amusing is how blind some Microsoft
apologists always are.

What exactly has that got to do with what I said?
Are you still having trouble reading what I say?

That fact is you have yet to write anything worth reading. I think it
would be a safe conclusion to write you off as just another clueless
fanboy. Wear your badge proudly. Some of us can be objective. You
should try it some time. Does require you open your eyes first.

Well I am more objective than you as I don't actually have an axe to grind
unlike you.
However as anyone that doesn't agree with you is a fanboy I suppose you will
have to live with it,it makes no difference to me what you think as you are
always wrong.

You objective? If you tried to stuck you head any further up
Microsoft's corporate butt you would be stuck and never get out.

What's the flip side? Everyone that doesn't line up to kiss Microsoft
ass is a troll?
Give a factual example where I've been wrong. Put it right here ===>

It might be useful if it was reliable, however my assumption is that the
videos must have been edited to remove the parts where the taskbars
vanished without trace, some plugins quit working randomly and the
desktops became unusable forcing CTRL ALT Backspace.
3 machines tested, 2 new and 1 6 years old but upgraded. The older is
the more reliable, the newer ones, well, neither Beryl not Compiz are
useful for anything except playing with.
Sure it will improve, but it is not even beta yet, most of the plugins
appear to be not even alpha yet, so stability wise it comes nowhere near
close to Aero but on the other hand it doesn't accuse you of theft either.
