For clueless (l)users, Beryl/Compiz are similar to Aero because both enable
3D effects on the desktop. :)

There seems to have been a recent surge though (from recent posts in
various forums), with Windows users that have seen some videos on Youtube
and decided to try Linux only because of Beryl. Whether that is good or bad
is debatable, as many of them are sorely disappointed when they discover
that they cannot run their usual Windows programs out of the box.
