That's even more useless eye-candy than Flip3D. I still use ALT+TAB.

yeah but you forget feaures like 'inzooming' with a click , changing colors
of text in a click when bad colors are used on a website, and because people
have the mouse in their hands, expose features are more handy when they go to
a corner of the screen :)

Windows will probably introduce it as a 'new' feature of 'them' in about 2
years :)
So if you want to see the future now, use other os'es till MS copies it
years later.
 
and was forgot to say that people use this on OLD harware, found this one:
pentium 933mhz and geforce 440

this shows that aero (just some transparant panels?!) of Vista shouldn't
require newer hardware, it's just a tactic so people will buy new
hardware/new computers, so Microsoft earns money of the licenses.

ever heard of the game lemmings ?

Well, some of those effects in that video has no practical purpose, like the
elastic window effect. They were actually shown in early presentations for
the Longhorn Aero interface, but must have been dropped as it is just
useless eye-candy.

Actually, windows could be made transparent in Windows once Win2000 came
out. The Glass effect in Vista is more than transparency - its diffuses the
light from beneath, like frosted or etched glass.

Microsoft have already experimented with things like a slight wave on the
windows when you move them. They found it was distracting and made some
people motion sick.
So if you want to see the future now, use other os'es till MS copies it
years later.

Windows Vista has the required technology to do all of that stuff.

don't forget Sabayonlinux is free, you can give all your neighbours a copy
and is immune for virusses and spyware, you don't need those scanners, you
can ask your friends for dangerous url's and to send you virusses, nothing
happens :) And you can boot the OS from DVD without installing it on the HD
:) And hit has 10GB of free applications including all codecs and drivers,
you don't need to buy anything.

BBC for example is thinking about online video for windows users only,
microsoft 'feels' that it has to do something about other successes and they
have the money and power to make those deals!

Here are some USEFUL features of Sabayonlinux:


But if you don't care about a 'wow' factor at all, check this other OS, also
free :
http://www.mandriva.com/projects/metisse

it's flip3d like Vista, but you can do so much more with it, you can even
type in those flipped windows.
this one is also free.

Sure a virus written for Windows won't do anything, just like a Linux virus
on Windows won't do anything. But if you get a Linux virus on Linux,
well...

Most of this neat-o stuff begs me to ask some obvious questions, like in the
responses above. However, until these "other" OS's come up with something
*really* useful, they will remain on the fringes of acceptance.

The biggest selling point they have is the price tag. This same point is
also the biggest problem in that the "openness" of the code will surely make
most corporate management restless and worried. You have to capture that
audience, like MS has, on a big scale to ever compete.
