WINDOWS VISTA AERO VS LINUX UBUNTU BERYL

I instinctively expected to hear the notes of "Here Comes the Hotstepper" when I clicked on that video. I was expecting [VIDEO] which was somewhat popular to send around to show comparisons of how Compiz was so far ahead it could not just replicate Vista's interface, but could also better it in some aspects like the famous 3D cube. Thanks to you and others for working on it! Looking at the video almost 15 years later, I feel wistful for the joy that accompanied some of these desktop effects, and wonder where it has gone today.

Judging by the sound of it, the original audio bit rate was probably higher than the video bit rate!

"Here comes the hotstepper..." ( see [LINK] for context linking to a popular video [VIDEO] from 2007 demoing some cube effects alongside burning windows and such.)

Compiz. Beryl. Compiz Fusion. Unlocks some fun memories. Also this video has some 6 million views now: [VIDEO] . I remember watching it and being awed by the cube effect.
