In my opinion, Vista's Aero is pretty cool. It spices up your desktop, and the performance impact is negligible. Many of Aero's features, such as 3D Flip, are useful in addition to being eye candy.

Cant say that is EATING RAM when it is using less Windows itself.
While it is only eye candy. It doesnt eat ram.  | may i ask ur system specs?? cuz it seems to run well on ur system |
