This is just what some folks want, thus it is available through Microsoft instead of third party companies it will make Win 10 users very happy. . .some want it, while some users see no use for it. . .isn't that one of the things people wanted out of Win 8'

Yep most people refer to transparent glass as a free eye candy,
Same as all of the dialog boxes.... sliding around and animating buttons...
It's one of the main features of aero but the only one that seems to be abandoned by Microsoft in 8-8.1 and now 10TP
All because someone is saving power consumption for mobile devices,
Desktops are not a mobile devices and many wish Microsoft would stop acting as if they were

Hi there.
On a nice monitor it looks great -- just try KDE-PLASMA effects on any Linux distro that supports KDE. Breeze is also brilliant.
I can do without wobbly windows, cuboidal objects etc (some people like them but you can switch those off). The KDE PLASMA is better than the AERO GLASS which a lot of people liked (and still like).
My view is that things like workspaces are very personal matters and these days the hardware is more than capable of supporting all manner of effects.
It also depends on what you are doing -- for example if I'm pre-press preparing some professional photos via Photoshop I switch to a basic plain light grey background -- hideously boring for other tasks but 100% convenient for me when doing the photoshop gig.
I can't see what's wrong in providing a load of effects if people like them --they don't have to be installed.
Ms has made some blunders in its time -- remember supplying Windows 8 SERVER (a server for gawd's sake) with those hideous mobile phone tiles !!!!!!. Hopefully it will relent on W10 and add aero like features.
Mind you when it comes to Ms - I'm sure anybody in professional I.T MUST have seen this cartoon before !!!!
Cheers

Yea there's just no good reason to not have all of the same aero features in 8-8.1. or now 10 that exist in 7 on a laptop or desktop,
The setting should all exist in the same easy to find locations/ personalize section and advanced system settings/ performance
There's also no real reason to push title only on the right column of the start menu/ text only should be a option and not just blocks,
There should also be an easy way to get rid of Bing search from the start menu search,
I used to laugh at all of the commercials that said "Windows 7 was my idea" but it's actually true
10 is not it lacks easy customizations and personal preferences.
Really. . .why the need to compare Linux UI to windows UI. Really see no reason. . .Sorry Jimbo just really don't. . :)
