The first two are demonstrations of desktop effects.

Desktop effects *may* be a good demonstration of GNU/Linux' graphics
capabilities. They *may* make *some* people *try* GNU/Linux.

Desktop effects will *not* make *any* people *stay* with GNU/Linux.

The third example is much better, though. People but a computer to
copy files to/from USB drives, and Vista indeed sucks badly in this.

So: show people they can copy files quickly using GNU/Linux. Show
people they can write spreadsheets and emails using GNU/Linux. Show
people they can access their favorite websites using GNU/Linux.

DON'T waste time showing people they can run Compiz using GNU/Linux.
