Ubuntu 7.10 did exactly that, as far as I'm concerned. Subtle fadein-fadeout effects, enhanced switcher, and use of a left-right desktop navigation plugin (don't know the name) rather than the cube.I would have liked a bind for the Scale plugin included by default, but the point is it worked, and was activated as soon as the nvidia driver was.
before you cry "Alt+Tab in XP gives me the same functionality blah blah"; it doesnt. This gives you WINDOW PREVIEWS, and in a much cooler way.Linux: Free of Charge and Freedom of Choice.
That is awesome. It never ceases to amaze me what people are coming up with for GNU/Linux. Even things which may seem like they no use at the moment may be useful later for an unknown issue. Though I don't know what that would be for the Fire Writing plug-in for Compiz. :P
Is it really necessary to let you adjust the 3D tilt, or provide 4 different options for where to position the window labels? Such cases should be resolved through usability testing, and the most successful option should just be picked. In this case, it seems rather logical to put the label on top of the window itself, because that's where the user will be looking anyway. Give users choice where it matters, and not just 'because'.Less airplane c**kpit, more sane defaults please. Somehow, only Apple seems to understand this on the desktop. :/

It's like Expose on the Mac minus the ease and functionality with a little bit of eye candy.
