Compiz Fusion vs Aero

Who said Linux Desktops are bore ??
Check out these screenshots of my Ubuntu 7.10 desktop with Compiz Fusion enabled below...these are only 2 of the 30 odd effects which are available FREE of cost since it is released under the GNU Public License (GPL)


The "Cube" effect showing all 4 workspaces as a cube

The Ring Switcher

here's all the features in this video...



But with Windows' new Aero there aren't as many customizable effects as Compiz....

The "famous" Flip 3D

Other effects like Video playback in thumbnails and preview windows etc are also present in Compiz Fusion....

The best part being that it being FREE...

My Verdict : If you really don't need Windows....Compiz rocks...
