The AERO in Vista was pretty cool until I tried Linux with the Beryl desktop manager. The entire title bar and borders are transparent, and with a single stroke I can make an entire window transparent to see what's behind it. Not to mention special fades like burning or exploding closed windows, zigzag minimize etc. Now when I'm in Vista I don't disapoint myself by turning AERO on.
On the bright side maybe someday Beryl will be available for all versions of Windows.
