While the latest Windows versions offer some decent desktop effects, they certainly cannot compare to what linux can do. This video shows some of those effects in action. Due to time I could not cover the Compiz setting manager in great detail, but it is straightforward and easy to figure out.
Show notes:
Ubuntu 11.04 users who prefer the classic Ubuntu shell over unity or Linux Mint users can install the following PPA into their sources list to get this STABLE version of Compiz-Fusion. MAKE SURE you completely purge Compiz 0.9.4 from your system before doing so. Info on how to do that is at:

Here is the PPA
ppa:guido-iodice/compiz-0.8.6-natty
Ubuntu 11.04 and derivatives do not support the compiz-fusion icon. Displex is a nice replacement.
